“With what shall I come before
the Lord and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year
old? Will the Lord be pleased with
thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my
transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah
6:6-8
