8. He has told you, humanity, what is good, and what Adonai is seeking from you: Only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
9. The voice of Adonai calls to the city— it is wisdom to fear Your Name— “Pay attention to the rod and to the One who appointed it.”
10. Does the house of the wicked still have treasures of wickedness? Or is an undersized ephah denounced?
11. Can I be pure with wicked balances? Or with a bag of deceptive weights?
12. For the rich of the city are full of violence and its inhabitants speak lies. Their tongue in their mouth is deceit.
13. So also I will strike you severely, desolating you because of your sins.
