6 With what shall I come to the Lord And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves?
7 Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, 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, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?
9 The voice of the Lord will call to the city- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: "Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?
10 "Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed?
11 "Can I justify wicked scales And a bag of deceptive weights?
12 "For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
