"Mic 6:1  Hear ye what the Lord saith: Arise, contend thou in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Mic 6:2  Let the mountains hear the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord will enter into judgment with his people, and he will plead against Israel.
Mic 6:3  O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested thee? answer thou me.
Mic 6:4  For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of slaves: and I sent before thy face Moses, and Aaron, and Mary.
Mic 6:6  What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? wherewith shall I kneel before the high God? shall I offer holocausts unto him, and calves of a year old?
Mic 6:7  May the Lord be appeased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he goats? shall I give my firstborn for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Mic 6:8  I will shew thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: Verily to do judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk solicitous with thy God."
Micah 6:1-4,6-8

"Psa 50:5  Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
Psa 50:6  And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
Psa 50:8  I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
Psa 50:9  I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
Psa 50:16  But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
Psa 50:17  Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
Psa 50:21  These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
Psa 50:23  The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God."

Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Mat 12:41  The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.
Mat 12:42  The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here."
