Micah Hear what the Lord is saying:Arise, lay out the lawsuit before the mountains;        let the hills hear your voice!Hear, mountains, the lawsuit of the Lord!        Hear, eternal foundations of the earth!The Lord has a lawsuit against his people;        with Israel he will argue.“My people, what did I ever do to you?        How have I wearied you? Answer me!I brought you up out of the land of Egypt;        I redeemed you from the house of slavery.        I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.My people, remember what Moab’s King Balak had planned,        and how Balaam, Beor’s son, answered him!        Remember everything[a] from Shittim to Gilgal,        that you might learn to recognize the righteous acts of the Lord!”With what should I approach the Lord        and bow down before God on high?Should I come before him with entirely burned offerings,        with year-old calves?Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,        with many torrents of oil?Should I give my oldest child for my crime;        the fruit of my body for the sin of my spirit?He has told you, human one, what is good and        what the Lord requires from you:            to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.The post What does the Lord require? – Micah 6:1-8 appeared first on Queer Theology.
