Micah 6:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ You say, “What can I bring with me
    when I come before the Lord,
    when I bow before ·God on high [the exalted God]?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17],
    with year-old calves?
⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand ·male sheep [rams]?
    Will he be pleased with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Should I give my ·first child [firstborn] for ·the evil I have done [my transgression]?
    Should I give ·my very own child [^Lthe fruit of my body] for ·my sin [^Lthe sin of my soul]?”
⁸ The Lord has told you, ·human [^TO man], what is good;
    he has told you what ·he wants [the Lord requires] from you:
to do what is ·right to other people [just],
    love ·being kind to others [mercy; lovingkindness],
and ·live humbly, obeying [walk humbly with] your God.
