Micah 6:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ “How can we make up to you for what we’ve done?” you ask. “Shall we bow before the Lord with offerings of yearling calves?”

Oh no! ⁷ For if you offered him thousands of rams and ten thousands of rivers of olive oil—would that please him? Would he be satisfied? If you sacrificed your oldest child, would that make him glad? Then would he forgive your sins? Of course not!

⁸ No, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is: to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.
