Micah 6:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Micah 6:3

God Pleads with Israel

1 Hear now what the Lord says:
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.

2 ^aHear, O you mountains, ^bthe Lord’s complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For ^cthe Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will¹ contend with Israel.

3 “O My people, what ^ahave I done to you?
And how have I ^bwearied you?
Testify against Me.

4 ^aFor I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 O My people, remember now
What ^aBalak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From¹ Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know ^bthe righteousness of the Lord.”

6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?

7 ^aWill the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand ^brivers of oil?
^cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
¹The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
