Micah 6:9 in context

Micah 6:6–12

6

How shall I come before the LORD,

and bow myself before the exalted God?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

with calves a year old?

7

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams?

With tens of thousands of rivers of oil?

Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience?

The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8

He has shown you, O man, what is good.

What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly,

to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9

10

Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,

and a short ephah that is accursed?

11

Shall I tolerate dishonest scales,

and a bag of deceitful weights?

Her rich men are full of violence,

her inhabitants speak lies,

and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
