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 by the Lord, And you enduring 2foundations of the earth, Because the 3Lord has a case against His people; And He will dispute with Israel.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, I 8redeemed you from the house of slavery, And I sent before you 9Moses, Aaron, and 10Miriam.5My people, remember now What 11Balak king of Moab planned And what Balaam son of Beor answered him, And what happened from 12Shittim to 13Gilgal, 14So that 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 pleasure in 18thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of 19oil? Shall I give Him my 20firstborn for my wrongdoings, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?8He has 21told you, mortal one, what is good; And 22what does the Lord require of you But to 23do justice, to 24love 25kindness, And to walk 2627humbly with your God?
