Micah 6:1-8
1Hear now what the Lord is saying, “Arise, plead your case 1before the mountains, And let the hills hear your voice.2Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the Lord, And you enduring 2foundations of the earth, Because the 3Lord has a case against His people; Even with Israel He will dispute.34My people, 5what have I done to you, And 6how have I wearied you? Answer Me.4Indeed, I 7brought you up from the land of Egypt And 8ransomed you from the house of slavery, And I sent before you 9Moses, Aaron and 10Miriam.5My people, remember now What 11Balak king of Moab counseled And what Balaam son of Beor answered him, And from 12Shittim to 13Gilgal, So 14that you might know the 15righteous acts of the Lord.”
616With what shall I come to the Lord And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with 17burnt offerings, With yearling calves?7Does the Lord take delight in 18thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my 19firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?8He has 20told you, O man, what is good; And 21what does the Lord require of you But to 22do justice, to 23love 24kindness, And to walk 2526humbly with your God?
