Micah 6:6-9

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 6 'Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before Him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?' 8 It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. 9 Hark! the LORD crieth unto the city - and it is wisdom to have regard for Thy name - hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
