He has told you, O man, what is good;
    and (A)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[a]
    and to (B)walk humbly with your God?

Destruction of the Wicked

The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
    and it is sound wisdom to fear (C)your name:
“Hear of (D)the rod and of him who appointed it![b]
10     Can I forget any longer the treasures[c] of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
    and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man (E)with wicked scales
    and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your[d] rich men are (F)full of violence;
    your inhabitants (G)speak lies,
    and (H)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
