Context of Micah 6:10

8He 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? 9The 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? Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed? 11Can I justify wicked scales And a bag of deceptive weights? 12For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
