Miqueas 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Study Note
Often considered the ethical summit of the Hebrew prophets, this verse distills Israel's covenant obligation to three requirements: justice (mishpat), kindness (chesed), and humble walk with God. The question 'what does the LORD require of you?' responds to a preceding parody of ritualistic excess (thousands of rams, ten thousand rivers of oil, even a firstborn), insisting that relationship with God cannot be purchased through religious performance. 'Chesed' (lovingkindness/steadfast love) is the characteristic quality of covenant relationship, not merely emotional affection. The verse has been widely cited in interfaith contexts and in social justice movements as a succinct biblical foundation for ethical engagement in the world.
