Micah 6:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ How am I to present myself in the Lord’s presence
    and bow in the presence of the High God?
Should I present myself with burnt offerings,
    with year-old calves?
⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    or with endless^[a] rivers of oil?
Am I to give my firstborn to pay for^[b] my rebellion,
    the fruit of my body in exchange for^[c] my soul?
⁸ He has made it clear to you, mortal man, what is good
    and what the Lord is requiring from you—
to act with justice,
    to treasure the Lord’s^[d] gracious love,
        and to walk humbly in the company of your God.
