Micah 6:8-10

8 Human, the Lord has told you what goodness is.
This is what he wants from you:
Be fair to other people.
Love kindness and loyalty,
and humbly obey your God.
What Were the Israelites Doing?
9 The Lord shouts to the city:
“A wise person respects the Lord’s name.[a]
So pay attention to the punishing rod and to the one who uses it![b]
10 Do the wicked still hide treasures

Do they still cheat people
with baskets that are too small?[c]
Yes, all of this is still happening!
