Micah 6:5-7
Complete Jewish Bible
5 My people, just remember what Balak
the king of Mo’av had planned,
what Bil‘am the son of B‘or answered him,
[and what happened] between Sheetim and Gilgal —
so that you will understand
the saving deeds of Adonai.”
6 “With what can I come before Adonai
to bow down before God on high?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings?
with calves in their first year?
7 Would Adonai take delight in thousands of rams
with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Could I give my firstborn to pay for my crimes,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
Micah 6:5-7
New International Version
5 My people, remember
what Balak(A) king of Moab plotted
and what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember your journey from Shittim(B) to Gilgal,(C)
that you may know the righteous acts(D) of the Lord.”
6 With what shall I come before(E) the Lord
and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?(F)
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,(G)
with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?(H)
Shall I offer my firstborn(I) for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?(J)
