Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:3 - "My people, how have I wronged you? How have I wearied you? Answer me!

What God Requires of Man

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:6 - With what should I enter the LORD's presence? With what should I bow before the sovereign God? Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:7 - Will the LORD accept a thousand rams, or ten thousand streams of olive oil? Should I give him my firstborn child as payment for my rebellion, my offspring - my own flesh and blood - for my sin?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:8 - He has told you, O man, what is good, and what the LORD really wants from you: He wants you to promote justice, to be faithful, and to live obediently before your God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:9 - Listen! The LORD is calling to the city! It is wise to respect your authority, O LORD! Listen, O nation, and those assembled in the city!
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:10 - "I will not overlook, O sinful house, the dishonest gain you have hoarded away, or the smaller-than-standard measure I hate so much.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:11 - I do not condone the use of rigged scales, or a bag of deceptive weights.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:12 - The city's rich men think nothing of resorting to violence; her inhabitants lie, their tongues speak deceptive words.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:14 - You will eat, but not be satisfied. Even if you have the strength to overtake some prey, you will not be able to carry it away; if you do happen to carry away something, I will deliver it over to the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:15 - You will plant crops, but will not harvest them; you will squeeze oil from the olives, but you will have no oil to rub on your bodies; you will squeeze juice from the grapes, but you will have no wine to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:16 - You implement the regulations of Omri, and all the practices of Ahab's dynasty; you follow their policies. Therefore I will make you an appalling sight, the city's inhabitants will be taunted derisively, and nations will mock all of you."
