Micah 6:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    with ten thousand 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 man, what is good—
    and what does the Lord require of you,
but to do justice and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?

⁹ The voice of the Lord calls to the city—
    and wisdom will fear Your name:
    Heed the rod and Him who has appointed it.
