Micah 6:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
What Yahweh Requires
6 (A)With what shall I come before Yahweh
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come before Him with (B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7 Is Yahweh pleased with (C)thousands of rams,
With ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my (D)firstborn for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has (E)told you, O man, what is good;
And (F)what does Yahweh require of you
But to (G)do justice, to (H)love lovingkindness,
And to walk [a](I)humbly with your God?

Evangelical Heritage Version
Israel’s Response
6 With what am I to appear before the Lord?
How should I bow down to God on high?
Should I appear before him with burnt offerings,
with one-year-old calves?
7 Will the Lord be delighted with thousands of rams,
with tens of thousands of streams of oil?
Should I give my firstborn for my rebellion,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has told you, mankind, what is good.
What does the Lord require from you,
except to carry out justice and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God?
