Micah 6 · Grade 4

Justice, Mercy, and Humility

Name Date

Read and Think

Micah 6 is like a court case. Yahweh calls the mountains and the foundations of the earth to listen. He has a case against his people. My people, he says, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? He reminds them of his kindness: he redeemed them from Egypt and sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. He reminds them how he turned Balaam's words into blessing.

Then a worshiper asks how to come before the exalted God. Should he bring burnt offerings, calves a year old, thousands of rams, or rivers of oil? The answer is not a bigger gift. He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

The last part of the chapter shows how far the people were from this. Merchants used a short ephah, dishonest scales, and deceitful weights. The rich were full of violence, and people spoke lies. God warned that they would sow but not reap, and eat but not be satisfied.
