    and what does Yahweh ask from you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?

⁹ The voice of Yahweh calls to the city

    “Hear, O staff!^[a] Now who has appointed it?
¹⁰ Is there any longer a man in the house of the wicked
    treasures of wickedness,
    and the ephah of scarcity which is accursed?^[b]
