17 The sacrifice acceptable to God[a] is a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
19 then wilt thou delight in right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on thy altar.
