Micah 6 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Escuchen ahora las palabras del Señor: «¡Levántate! Presenta tu causa ante las montañas; que tu voz resuene entre las colinas».
1 Listen now to what Yahweh says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
2 Escuchen, montañas, la causa del Señor; presten atención, cimientos de la tierra. El Señor tiene una causa contra su pueblo y la presentará contra Israel.
2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 «Pueblo mío, ¿qué te he hecho? ¿En qué te he cansado? Responde contra mí.
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
4 Yo te saqué de la tierra de Egipto y te liberé de la prisión. Envié delante de ti a Moisés, Aarón y Miriam.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Pueblo mío, recuerda lo que planeó Balac, rey de Moab, y lo que le respondió Balaam, hijo de Beor. Recuerda lo que sucedió desde Sitim hasta Gilgal, para que tengas certeza de los actos justos del Señor».
5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
6 ¿Con qué me presentaré ante el Señor y me inclinaré ante el Dios de lo alto? ¿Me presentaré con holocaustos, con becerros de un año?
6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 ¿Se agradará el Señor con miles de ovejas o con diez mil ríos de aceite? ¿Daré a mi primer hijo por mi rebeldía, el fruto de mi cuerpo por el pecado de mi alma?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Él te ha mostrado, ser humano, lo que es bueno y lo que el Señor pide de ti: hacer lo justo, amar la misericordia y caminar sin orgullo ante tu Dios.
8 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?
9 La voz del Señor clama a la ciudad: «Escuchen, tribus y asamblea de la ciudad.
9 Yahweh’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
10 ¿Voy a olvidar los tesoros del malvado y la medida escasa que es maldita?
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
11 ¿Puedo dejar sin castigo las balanzas falsas y la bolsa de pesas engañosas?
11 Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Sus ricos son crueles; sus habitantes han dicho mentiras y su lengua es engañosa.
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13 Por eso he comenzado a castigarte; te he devastado por tus pecados.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
14 Tendrás alimento, pero no será suficiente; tu vergüenza estará siempre contigo. Moverás tus bienes, pero no lograrás ponerlos a salvo; y lo que logres sacar, lo entregaré a la espada.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
15 Sembrarás, pero no cosecharás; triturarás aceitunas, pero no te untarás el cuerpo con su aceite; recogerás uvas, pero no tendrás vino.
15 You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
16 Has guardado las leyes de Omri y todas las obras de la familia de Acab, y has seguido sus planes. Por eso haré de ti un motivo de espanto y de tu pueblo un motivo de silbidos de burla; la vergüenza de mi pueblo recaerá sobre ti».
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Hath He showed 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?" In the words of this prophet, these two things are distinguished and set forth with sufficient explicitness, that God does not require these sacrifices for their own sakes, …

See, for example, how He Himself, the insulted one, discourses with us, both in the Old Testament, and in the New; in the one saying, "O my people, what have I done unto thee?" in the other, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me." And Paul too bids, "In meekness instruct those that oppose themselves." And Christ again, when His disciples …

And again, "O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I grieved thee?" showing their thankless disposition, and that when in the enjoyment of all things, they requited …
