Micah 6:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
        with many torrents of oil?
Should I give my oldest child for my crime;
        the fruit of my body for the sin of my spirit?
⁸ He has told you, human one, what is good and
        what the Lord requires from you:
            to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.

⁹ The voice of the Lord calls out to the city;
        wisdom appears when one fears your name.^[a]
        Hear, tribe, and who appointed her!^[b]
