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?
11 Should I acquit the scales of wickedness,and the sack of dishonest weights?
12 Her wealthy men are full of violence,and her inhabitants speak deception,and their tongue in their mouth is treachery.
