It means that we must be careful to be just and merciful and be modest instead of arrogant. The prophet Michah wrote that, around the 4th or 5th chapter of his book.
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God
Micah 6:8" He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the LORD require of you?To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your God"
Keep my commandsAnswer:"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." (Micah 6:8)

To love mercy is to prefer being kind to being correct. It is the moral lesson of the God of Abraham. In Micah 6:8 "He has shown you, o mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." The sage Hillel considered this the entirety of the Law, and everything else mere commentary. Christians are taught it is better to forgive offenses than to avenge them, and Moslems call God the All-Merciful, the Giver of Mercy. But economics has made the world too angry and competitive for the love of mercy, and so instead of lasting happiness most of us experience greed, righteous indignation and the need to get even.
Holy Name of Mary Catholic Secondary School's motto is 'Act justly, Love tenderly, Walk humbly with our God'.
This phrase is a paraphrase from the Bible (Micah 6:8), emphasizing the values of justice, love, and humility. It encourages followers to act with integrity, show love and compassion, and approach life with humility and reverence towards God. It serves as a guiding principle for leading a righteous and fulfilling life.
"The meaning of life is not a fact to be discovered, but a choice you make about the way you live." (Hilda Bernstein, a white South African Jew who fought against apartheid) "It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." (Micah 6:8)
The book of Micah is a warning of judgment from God Almighty. It is a warning to those who sin and those who oppress others. In Micah 6:8 we have that well known verse where God tells us what He requires of us, which is ... "to do justly, and love mercy, and to walk humbly with the LORD." A number of the prophecy books are warning messages to God's people. Warnings to "do what is right in the Lord's sight". And warnings of judgment upon those who continue to disobey God.
