⁸ He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
   and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
   and to walk humbly with your God?

Cheating and Violence to Be Punished

⁹ The voice of the Lord cries to the city
   (it is sound wisdom to fear your name):
Hear, O tribe and assembly of the city!^*
10   Can I forget^* the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
   and the scant measure that is accursed?
¹¹ Can I tolerate wicked scales
   and a bag of dishonest weights?
¹² Your^* wealthy are full of violence;
   your^* inhabitants speak lies,
   with tongues of deceit in their mouths.
¹³ Therefore I have begun^* to strike you down,
   making you desolate because of your sins.
