Micah 6:5-7

New Century Version

⁵My people, remember
    the evil plans of Balak king of Moab
    and what Balaam son of Beor told Balak.
Remember what happened from Acacia to Gilgal
    so that you will know the Lord does what is right!”

⁶You say, “What can I bring with me
    when I come before the Lord,
    when I bow before God on high?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with year-old calves?
⁷Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand male sheep?
    Will he be pleased with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Should I give my first child for the evil I have done?
    Should I give my very own child for my sin?”
