Micah 6:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 What should I bring when I come into Yahweh’s presence,
when I bow in front of the God of heaven?
Should I bring him year-old calves as burnt offerings?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams
or with endless streams of olive oil?
Should I give him my firstborn child because of my rebellious acts?
Should I give him my young child for my sin?
8 You mortals, Yahweh has told you what is good.
This is what Yahweh requires from you:
to do what is right,
to love mercy,
and to live humbly with your Elohim.
Micah 6:6-8
