3 To carry on righteousness and judgment is more preferable to Jehovah than sacrifice.+

5 For if YOU will positively make YOUR ways and YOUR dealings good, if YOU will positively carry out justice between a man* and his companion,+

12 O house of David,+ this is what Jehovah has said: “Every morning+ render sentence in justice,+ and deliver the one being robbed out of the hand of the defrauder,+ that my rage may not go forth just like a fire+ and actually burn and there be no one to extinguish it because of the badness of YOUR dealings.”’+
