5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The LORD'S voice cries unto the city, and wisdom shall see your name:
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count those pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
