4 For I have brought you up from the land of Egypt,and from the house of slaves I have redeemed you;and I sent before you Moses,Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O My people, remember nowwhat Balak king of Moab counseled,and what Balaam son of Beor answered him,and remember what happened from Shittim to Gilgal,so that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.”
6 “With what should I come before the Lord,and bow down before God on high?Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,with calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,with ten thousand 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 told you, O man, what is good—and what does the Lord require of you,but to do justice and to love kindness,and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The voice of the Lord calls to the city—and wisdom will fear Your name:Heed the rod and Him who has appointed it.
10 Are there still in the house of the wickedtreasures of wickedness?And the short ephah which is accursed?
