Micah 6:8-13

8He has 1told you, mortal one, what is good; And 2what does the Lord require of you But to 3do justice, to 4love 5kindness, And to walk 6 7humbly with your God?

9The voice of the Lord will call to the city-- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: “8Hear, you tribe. Who has designated 9its time?10Is there still a person in the wicked house, Along with treasures of 10wickedness, And a 11 12short measure that is cursed?11Can I justify dishonest 13balances, And a bag of fraudulent weights?12For the rich people of 14the city are full of 15violence, Her residents speak 16lies, And their 17tongue is deceitful in their mouth.13So also I will make you 18sick, striking you down, 19Making you desolate because of your sins.
