Micah 6:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵My people, remember
    the evil plans of Balak king of Moab.
    Remember what Balaam son of Beor told Balak.
Remember what happened from Acacia to Gilgal.
    Then you will know the Lord does what is right!”

⁶You say, “What can I bring with me
    when I come before the Lord?
What can I bring
    when I bow before God on high?
Should I come before the Lord with burnt offerings,
    with year-old calves?
⁷Will the Lord be pleased with 1,000 male sheep?
    Will he be pleased with 10,000 rivers of oil?
Should I give my first child for the evil I have done?
    Should I give my very own child for my sin?”
