Micah 6:6-15

61With whatH4100 shall I comeH6923 to the LordH3068 And bowH3721 myself before the GodH430 on highH4791? Shall I comeH6923 to Him with 2burntH5930 offeringsH5930, With yearlingH8141 calvesH5695?7Does the LordH3068 takeH7521 delightH7521 in 3thousandsH505 of ramsH352, In tenH7233 thousandH7233 riversH5158 of oilH8081? Shall I presentH5414 my 4firstbornH1060 for my rebelliousH6588 actsH6588, The fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315?8He has 5toldH5046 you, O manH120, whatH4100 is goodH2896; And 6whatH4100 does the LordH3068 requireH1875 of you But to 7doH6213 justiceH4941, to 8loveH157 9kindnessH2617, And to walkH1980 1011humblyH6800 with your GodH430?

9The voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 will callH7121 to the cityH5892-- And it is soundH8454 wisdomH8454 to fearH3372 Your nameH8034: “HearH8085, O tribeH4294. WhoH4310 has appointedH3259 12its time?10Is there yetH5750 a manH376 in the wickedH7563 houseH1004, Along with treasuresH214 of 13wickednessH7562 And a 1415shortH7332 measureH374 that is cursedH2194?11Can I justifyH2135 wickedH7562 16scalesH3976 And a bagH3599 of deceptiveH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 menH6223 of the 17city are fullH4390 of 18violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 19liesH8267, And their 20tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 21sickH2470, strikingH5221 you downH5221, 22DesolatingH8074 you becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 23not be satisfiedH7646, And your 24vilenessH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 for safekeeping, But you will 25not preserveH6403 anything, And whatH834 you do preserveH6403 I will giveH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 26not reapH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And the grapesH8492, but you will 27not drinkH8354 wineH3196.
