Micah 6:1-8

Micah 6:1-8 CSB

Now listen to what the LORD is saying: Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your complaint.  Listen to the  LORD’s lawsuit,  you mountains and enduring foundations of the earth,  because the LORD has a case against his people,  and he will argue it against Israel. My people,  what have I done to you,  or how have I wearied you?  Testify against me! Indeed, I brought you up  from the land of Egypt and redeemed you  from that place of slavery.  I sent Moses,  Aaron, and Miriam  ahead of you. My people, remember what King Balak of Moab   proposed, what Balaam son of Beor answered him,  and what happened from the Acacia Grove  , to Gilgal  so that you may acknowledge the LORD’s righteous acts.  What should I bring before the  LORD   when I come to bow before God on high? Should I come before him with burnt offerings,  with year-old calves? Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams  or with ten thousand streams of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression,  the offspring of my body for my own sin? Mankind, he has told each of you what is good  and what it is the  LORD requires of you:  to act justly,  to love faithfulness,  and to walk humbly with your God.
