Micah 6 v 1-8

The LORD’s case against Israel

1 Listen to what the LORD says:‘Stand up, plead my case before the mountains;let the hills hear what you have to say.

2 ‘Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s accusation;listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth.For the LORD has a case against his people;he is lodging a charge against Israel.

3 ‘My people, what have I done to you?How have I burdened you? Answer me.

4 I brought you up out of Egyptand redeemed you from the land of slavery.I sent Moses to lead you,also Aaron and Miriam.

5 My people, rememberwhat Balak king of Moab plottedand what Balaam son of Beor answered.Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal,that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD.’

6 With what shall I come before the LORDand bow down before the exalted God?Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,with calves a year old?

7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,with ten thousand rivers of oil?Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the LORD require of you?To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your God.
