Micah 6:1-8

1Hear ye now what Yhwh saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.1 2Hear ye, O mountains, Yhwh's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for Yhwh hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. 3O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. 4For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of Yhwh.

6Wherewith shall I come before Yhwh, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?2 7Will Yhwh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?3 8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Yhwh require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?4
