Micah 6:8-10
International Children’s Bible

8 The Lord has told you what is good.
    He has told you what he wants from you:
Do what is right to other people.
    Love being kind to others.
    And live humbly, trusting your God.

9 The voice of the Lord shouts to the city.
    The wise person honors the Lord.
So pay attention to the rod of punishment.
    Pay attention to the One who threatens to punish.
10 Can the Lord forget that the wicked still hide
    treasures they have stolen?
    Do they still cheat others?
    I curse their false measure!

9 Listen! The Lord is calling to the city—
    and to fear your name is wisdom—
    “Heed the rod(D) and the One who appointed it.[b]
10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
    and the short ephah,[c] which is accursed?(E)
