Micah 6:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ O My people, remember now
    what Balak king of Moab counseled,
    and what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
and remember what happened from Shittim to Gilgal,
    so that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.”

⁶ “With what should I come before the Lord,
    and bow down before God on high?
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 give my firstborn for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
