8He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.
9The voice of the Lord is crying out to the town: Give ear, you tribes and the meeting of the town.
10Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?
11Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?
12For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
13So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
14You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword.
