Micah 6:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
What Yahweh Requires
6 (A)With what shall I come before Yahweh
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come before Him with (B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7 Is Yahweh pleased with (C)thousands of rams,
With ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my (D)firstborn for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has (E)told you, O man, what is good;
And (F)what does Yahweh require of you
But to (G)do justice, to (H)love lovingkindness,
And to walk [a](I)humbly with your God?
