Micah 6:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams?
    Will he take delight in 10,000 rivers of olive oil?
Should we offer our oldest sons
    for the wrong things we’ve done?
Should we sacrifice our own children
    to pay for our sins?”

⁹ The Lord is calling out to Jerusalem.
    And it would be wise to pay attention to him.
He says, “Listen, tribe of Judah
    and you people who are gathered in the city.
