Micah 6:5-7

New Century Version

⁶ You say, “What can I bring with me
    when I come before the Lord,
    when I bow before God on high?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with year-old calves?
⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand male sheep?
    Will he be pleased with ten thousand 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?”
