First Clement · 1 Clem. 52

The Master, brethren, hath need of nothing at all. He desireth not anything of any man, save to confess unto Him.

For the David saith; I will confess unto the Lord, and it shall please Him more than a young calf that groweth horns and hoofs. Let the poor see it, and rejoice.

And again He saith; Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Most High: and call upon Me in the day of thine affliction, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

For a sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit.
