What God Requires of Man

6

 aWith whath4100 shall I comeh6923 to the LORDh3068 And bowh3721 myself before the Godh430 on highh4791? Shall I comeh6923 to Him with  bburnth5930a offeringsh5930a, With yearlingh8141 calvesh5695?

7

Does the LORDh3068 takeh7521 delighth7521 in  athousandsh505 of ramsh352a, In tenh7233 thousandh7233 riversh5158a of oilh8081? Shall I presenth5414 my  bfirstbornh1060 for my rebellioush6588 actsh6588, The fruith6529 of my bodyh990 for the sinh2403b of my soulh5315?

He has  atoldh5046 you, O manh120, whath4100 is goodh2896a; And  bwhath4100 does the LORDh3068 requireh1875 of you But to  cdoh6213a justiceh4941, to  dloveh157  1kindnessh2617a, And to walkh1980  2 ehumblyh6800 with your Godh430?

9

The voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 will callh7121 to the cityh5892b-- And it is soundh8454 wisdomh8454 to fearh3372a Your nameh8034: "Hearh8085, O tribeh4294. Whoh4310 has appointedh3259  1its time?

"Is there yeth5750 a manh376 in the wickedh7563 househ1004, Along with treasuresh214 of  awickednessh7562 And a  1 bshorth7332 measureh374 that is cursedh2194?

11

"Can I justifyh2135 wickedh7562  ascalesh3976 And a bagh3599 of deceptiveh4820 weightsh68?

12

"For the richh6223 menh6223 of the  1city are fullh4390 of  aviolenceh2555, Her residentsh3427 speakh1696  bliesh8267, And their  ctongueh3956 is deceitfulh7423a in their mouthh6310.

13

"So alsoh1571 I will makeh2470a you  asickh2470a, strikingh5221 you downh5221,  bDesolatingh8074 you becauseh5921 of your sinsh2403b.

14

"You will eath398, but you will  anot be satisfiedh7646, And your  1vilenessh3445 will be in your midsth7130. You will try to removeh5472 for safekeeping, But you will  bnot preserveh6403 anything, And whath834 you do preserveh6403 I will giveh5414 to the swordh2719.

15

"You will sowh2232 but you will  anot reaph7114b. You will treadh1869 the oliveh2132 but will not anointh5480a yourself with oilh8081; And the grapesh8492, but you will  bnot drinkh8354 wineh3196.

16

"The statutesh2708 of  aOmrih6018 And allh3605 the worksh4639 of the househ1004 of  bAhabh256 are observedh8104; And in their devicesh4156 you  cwalkh1980. Thereforeh4616 I will giveh5414 you up for  ddestructionh8047 And  1your inhabitantsh3427 for  ederisionh8322, And you will bearh5375 the  freproachh2781 of My peopleh5971a."
