(Mic 6:6) 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?
(Mic 6:7) 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?
