Micah 6:6-15

6Wherewith shall I comeH6923 beforeH6923 the LORDH3068, and bowH3721 myself beforeH6923 the highH4791 GodH430? shall I comeH6923 beforeH6923 him with burntH5930 offeringsH3068, with calvesH5695 of a yearH8141 oldH1121?

7will the LORDH3068 be pleasedH7521 with thousandsH505 of ramsH352, or with tenH7233 thousandsH505 of rivers of oilH8081? shall I giveH5414 my firstbornH1060 for my transgressionH6588, the fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315?

8He hath shewed thee, O manH120, whatH4100 is goodH2896; and whatH4100 doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH3068, and to walk humblyH6800 with thy GodH430?

9The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 crieth unto the cityH5892, and the man of wisdomH8454 will see thy nameH8034: hearH8085 ye the rodH4294, and who hath appointedH3259 it.

10Are there yet the treasuresH214 of wickednessH7562 in the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563, and the scant measureH374 that is abominable?

11Shall I be pureH2135 with wickedH7562 balancesH3976, and with a bagH3599 of deceitfulH4820 weightsH68?

12For the richH6223 menH6223 thereof are fullH4390 of violenceH2555, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof have spokenH1696 liesH8267, and their tongueH3956 is deceitfulH8267 in their mouthH6310.

13Therefore I also have smittenH5221 thee with a grievous wound; I have madeH8074 thee desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of thy sinsH2403.

14Thou shalt eatH398, but notH3808 be satisfiedH7646; and thy humiliation shall be in the midstH7130 of thee: and thou shalt remove, but shalt notH3808 carry awayH398 safe; and that whichH834 thou carriest awayH398 will I giveH5414 upH5414 to the swordH2719.

15Thou shalt sowH2232, but shalt notH3808 reapH7114: thou shalt treadH1869 the olivesH2132, but shalt notH3808 anointH5480 thee with oilH8081; and the vintage, but shalt notH3808 drinkH8354 the wineH3196.
