Micah 6:1-8 Listen to what Jehovah said: Arise, plead your case before the mountains. Let the hills hear your voice.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Listen to what Jehovah said: Arise, plead your case before the mountains. Let the hills hear your voice. ² Hear Jehovah’s indictment you mountains and you enduring foundations of the earth! Jehovah argues a case against his people. He will contend with Israel: ³ »O my people, what have I done to you? How have I grieved you? Respond to me. ⁴ »I brought you out of the land of Egypt. I redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. ⁵ »O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.« ⁶ With what shall I come before Jehovah? Shall I bow down before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with year old calves? ⁷ Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for my sin? ⁸ He told you, O lowly man, what is good and what Jehovah requires of you. You should display justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God!
