Micah 6
Reading Micah chapter 6 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 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.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, bow myself before the highGod? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 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?
8 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 thyGod?
9 Jehovah's voice crieth unto the city, and wisdom looketh on thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [which is] abominable?
