Micah 6:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 But God has told us what is good.[a] This is what the Lord wants from us:
‘You must be fair to other people,’ God says.
‘You must want to be kind.[b]
And you must be careful to do what I show you.’
God will punish people that are not honest
9 The Lord shouts to the people in the city of Jerusalem.
So it is good for us to listen carefully to what he says.
‘Listen to me, because I have the authority to punish you,’ God says.
10 ‘You bad people still hide valuable things that you have taken from other people.
I will not forget this.
You bad people use false weights to measure the food that you sell.
I hate that.
Micah 6:8-10
