Micah 6:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand rams
    or with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Should I offer him my first child to pay for my wrongs?
    Should I sacrifice my very own child for my sins?

⁹ The Lord shouts to the city:
“A wise person respects the Lord’s name.^[a]
    So pay attention to the punishing rod and to the one who uses it!^[b]
