Micah 6:6-8

6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
    and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, 
   with calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    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 has told you, O mortal, what is good;
    and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?

Simple Gifts: What Does the Lord Require?

Not many people are aware that this ancient book of the bible was actually written by one of our very own distinguished El Pasoans--the prophet Micah, who was a graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso. In fact, there are twelve books of the Old Testament that were written by various prophets, all UTEP alumni. Collectively, they are referred to as the books of the "Miner" prophets.
