8 He has ^ashown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But ^bto do justly,
To love¹ mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God? ‡

9 The Lord’s voice cries to the city—
Wisdom shall see Your name:
“Hear the rod!
Who has appointed it?

11 Shall I count pure those with ^athe wicked scales,
And with the bag of deceitful weights? ‡

12 For her rich men are full of ^aviolence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And ^btheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth. ‡
