Contemporary English Version
Micah 6:6-8
Contemporary English Version
True Obedience
6 What offering should I bring
when I bow down to worship
the Lord God Most High?
Should I try to please him[a]
by sacrificing
calves a year old?
7 Will thousands of sheep
or rivers of olive oil
make God satisfied with me?
Should I sacrifice to the Lord
my first-born child as payment
for my terrible sins?
8 The Lord God has told us
what is right
and what he demands:
“See that justice is done,
let mercy be your first concern,
and humbly obey your God.”
Footnotes
- 6.6 try to please him: This refers to what are traditionally called “burnt sacrifices,” which were offered as a way of pleasing the Lord.
