Micah 6:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Surely I [a]brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants, and I have sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab had devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from [b]Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the [c]righteousness of the Lord.
6 Wherewith [d]shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, and with calves of a year old?
