Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 6:7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 6:8 He has showed you, man, what is good; and what does Yahweh require of you, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? 6:9 The voice of Yahweh cries to the city, and [the man of] wisdom will see your name: hear you the rod, and who has appointed it. 6:10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable? 6:11 Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights? 6:12 For the rich men of it are full of violence, and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 6:13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound; I have made you desolate because of your sins. 6:14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your humiliation shall be in the midst of you: and you shall put away, but shall not save; and that which you save will I give up to the sword. 6:15 You shall sow, but shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint you with oil; and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine. 6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I may make you a desolation, and the inhabitants of it a hissing: and you shall bear the reproach of my people.
