Render a digital art interpretation of the Biblical passage Micah 6:6-8. The scene depicts a perplexed individual standing before a powerful, exalted entity, questioning whether grand sacrifices such as burnt offerings of year-old calves or rivers of olive oil will suffice.

Micah 6:6-8 - "With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
