Micah 6:3-8
New International Version
3 “My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened(A) you?(B) Answer me.
4 I brought you up out of Egypt(C)
and redeemed you from the land of slavery.(D)
I sent Moses(E) to lead you,
also Aaron(F) and Miriam.(G)
5 My people, remember
what Balak(H) king of Moab plotted
and what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember your journey from Shittim(I) to Gilgal,(J)
that you may know the righteous acts(K) of the Lord.”
6 With what shall I come before(L) the Lord
and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?(M)
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,(N)
with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?(O)
Shall I offer my firstborn(P) for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?(Q)
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly(R) and to love mercy
and to walk humbly[a](S) with your God.(T)
