Berean Standard Bible

“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Micah 6:8

Save as image

Study note

Micah 6 is staged as a courtroom scene in which God brings a case against Israel, reminding them of all he had done for them since the exodus. A worshiper then asks what offering would please God: thousands of rams, rivers of oil or even a firstborn child.
