Micah 6:4-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
4
Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I redeemed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5
My people, remember now
What Balak king of Moab planned
And what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
And what happened
from Shittim to Gilgal,
So that you might know the righteous acts of the
Lord
.'
6
With what shall I come to the
Lord
And
bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7
Does the
Lord
take pleasure in thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give
Him
my firstborn
for
my wrongdoings,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8
He has told you, mortal one, what is good;
And what does the
Lord
require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
9
The voice of the
Lord
will call to the city—
And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:
'Hear, you tribe. Who has designated its time?
10
Is there still a person
in
the wicked house,
Along with
treasures of wickedness,
And a short measure
that is
cursed?
11
Can I justify dishonest balances,
And a bag of fraudulent weights?
12
For the rich people of the city are full of violence,
Her residents speak lies,
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13
So also I will make
you
sick, striking you down,
Making
you
desolate because of your sins.
14
You will eat, but you will not be satisfied,
And your filth
will be
in your midst.
You will
try to
remove
valuables for safekeeping,
But you will not save
it all,
And what you do save I will turn over to the sword.
15
You will sow but you will not harvest.
You will tread the olive
press
but will not anoint yourself with oil;
And
tread out
sweet wine, but you will not drink
any
wine.
King James Version
Chapter 6
4
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5
O 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 the
Lord
.
6
Wherewith shall I come before the
Lord
, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7
Will the
Lord
be pleased with thousands of rams, or with 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 shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the
Lord
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9
The
Lord
'S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13
Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
14
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
4
Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt
and redeemed you from that place of slavery.
I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam ahead of you.
5
My people,
remember what King Balak of Moab proposed,
what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
and what happened from the Acacia Grove to Gilgal
so that you may acknowledge
the
Lord
’s righteous acts.
6
What should I bring before the
Lord
when I come to bow before God on high?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings,
with year-old calves?
7
Would the
Lord
be pleased with thousands of rams
or with ten thousand streams of oil?
Should I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the offspring of my body for my own sin?
8
Mankind, he has told each of you what is good
and what it is the
Lord
requires of you:
to act justly,
to love faithfulness,
and to walk humbly with your God.
9
The voice of the
Lord
calls out to the city
(and it is wise to fear your name):
"Pay attention to the rod
and the one who ordained it.
10
Are there still the treasures of wickedness
and the accursed short measure
in the house of the wicked?
11
Can I excuse wicked scales
or bags of deceptive weights?
12
For the wealthy of the city are full of violence,
and its residents speak lies;
the tongues in their mouths are deceitful.
13
"As a result, I have begun to strike you severely,
bringing desolation because of your sins.
14
You will eat but not be satisfied,
for there will be hunger within you.
What you acquire, you cannot save,
and what you do save,
I will give to the sword.
15
You will sow but not reap;
you will press olives
but not anoint yourself with oil;
and you will tread grapes
but not drink the wine.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
4
For I brought you out of Egypt
and redeemed you from slavery.
I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
5
Don’t you remember, my people,
how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed
and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?
And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
when I, the
Lord
, did everything I could
to teach you about my faithfulness.'
6
What can we bring to the
Lord
?
Should we bring him burnt offerings?
Should we bow before God Most High
with offerings of yearling calves?
7
Should we offer him thousands of rams
and ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Should we sacrifice our firstborn children
to pay for our sins?
8
No, O people, the
Lord
has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
9
Fear the
Lord
if you are wise!
His voice calls to everyone in Jerusalem:
'The armies of destruction are coming;
the
Lord
is sending them.
10
What shall I say about the homes of the wicked
filled with treasures gained by cheating?
What about the disgusting practice
of measuring out grain with dishonest measures?
11
How can I tolerate your merchants
who use dishonest scales and weights?
12
The rich among you have become wealthy
through extortion and violence.
Your citizens are so used to lying
that their tongues can no longer tell the truth.
13
'Therefore, I will wound you!
I will bring you to ruin for all your sins.
14
You will eat but never have enough.
Your hunger pangs and emptiness will remain.
And though you try to save your money,
it will come to nothing in the end.
You will save a little,
but I will give it to those who conquer you.
15
You will plant crops
but not harvest them.
You will press your olives
but not get enough oil to anoint yourselves.
You will trample the grapes
but get no juice to make your wine.

and the scant measure that is accursed?
11
Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12
Your rich men are full of violence;
your inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13
Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,
making you desolate because of your sins.
14
You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be hunger within you;
you shall put away, but not preserve,
and what you preserve I will give to the sword.
15
You shall sow, but not reap;
you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.

Listen! The
Lord
is calling to the city—

10
Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short ephah, which is accursed?
11
Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,
with a bag of false weights?
12
Your rich people are violent;
your inhabitants are liars
and their tongues speak deceitfully.
13
Therefore, I have begun to destroy you,
to ruin you because of your sins.
14
You will eat but not be satisfied;
your stomach will still be empty.
You will store up but save nothing,
because what you save I will give to the sword.
15
You will plant but not harvest;
you will press olives but not use the oil,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.

“You shall sow, but not reap;
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
And
make
sweet wine, but not drink wine.
