7Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
8He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except -- to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?
9A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.
10Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?
11Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
12Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
13And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.
