Micah 6:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ O my people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised,
    and what Balaam the son of Be′or answered him,
and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal,
    that you may know the saving acts of the Lord.”

⁶ “With what shall I come before the Lord,
    and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with calves a year old?
⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my first-born for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
