Micah 6:6-8

“What shall I bring when I come before Yhwh,

and bow down before God on high?” you ask.

“Am I to come before God with burnt offerings?

With year-old calves?

Will Yhwh be placated by thousands of rams

or ten thousand rivers of oil?

Should I offer my firstborn for my wrongdoings—

the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”

Listen here, mortal:

God has already made abundantly clear

what “good” is, and what Yhwh needs from you:

simply do justice,

love kindness,

and humbly walk with your God.
