Micah 6:6-8
Lexham English Bible
What Does Yahweh Require?
6 With what shall I approach Yahweh,
and bow down to God on high?
Shall I approach him with burnt offerings,
with bull calves a year old?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams,
with myriads of rivers of oil?
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 mortal, what is good,
and what does Yahweh ask from you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?

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

Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”(A)

and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God?(B)
