Micah 6:6-8
English Standard Version
What Does the Lord Require?
6 (A)“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before (B)God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 (C)Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
(D)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and (E)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]
and to (F)walk humbly with your God?

and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
