Micah:6:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear ye now what Jehovah saith :
Arise ,
contend before the mountains ,
and let the hills hear thy voice .
*
Hear ,
ye mountains ,
Jehovah '
s controversy ,
and ye ,
unchanging foundations of the earth ;
for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people ,
and he will plead with Israel .
*
O my people ,
what have I done unto thee ?
and wherein have I wearied thee ?
testify against me .
*
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt ,
and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage ;
and I sent before thee Moses ,
Aaron ,
and Miriam .
*
My people ,
remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted ,
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him ,
from Shittim unto Gilgal ,
that ye may know the righteousness of Jehovah .
*
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah ,
bow myself before the high God ?
Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings ,
with calves of a year old ?
*
Will Jehovah take pleasure in thousands of rams ,
in ten thousands of rivers of oil ?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression ,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ?
*
He hath shewn thee ,
O man ,
what is good :
and what doth Jehovah require of thee ,
but to do justly ,
and to love goodness ,
and to walk humbly with thy God ?
