Micah 6:6-15

6With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?7Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8He has shown you, O man, what is good.And what does the LORD require of youbut to act justly, to love mercy,and to walk humbly with your God?
9The voice of the LORD calls out to the city(and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name):“Heed the rodand the One who ordained it.10Can I forget any longer,O house of the wicked,the treasures of wickednessand the short ephah, which is accursed?11Can I excuse dishonest scalesor bags of false weights?12For the wealthy of the cityare full of violence,and its residents speak lies;their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
13Therefore I am striking you severely,to ruin you because of your sins.14You will eat but not be satisfied,and your hunger will remain with you.What you acquire, you will not preserve;and what you save, I will give to the sword.15You will sow but not reap;you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil;you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
