And now, Israel, what is Jehovah your God asking of you, but to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

and to keep the commandments of Jehovah and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good.

but your eyes have been seeing every great work of Jehovah which He has done.

Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you are crossing over to possess,

O man, He has declared to you what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

So the multitudes asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Then tax collectors also came to be immersed, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?

Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, And what shall we do? So he said to them, Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind,

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

but as He who called you is holy, you also become holy in all conduct,

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be for joy and gladness and cheerful feasts to the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Judge true justice, and show goodness and compassion, everyone to his brother.

You shall not steal, nor deceive, nor lie to one another.

He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;

He who utters truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

The lips of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a twinkling moment.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Hear the Word of Jehovah, you sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a complaint against the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and the committing of adultery burst forth. And blood touches against blood.

For her rich ones are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, prostitutes, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Judge true justice, and show goodness and compassion, everyone to his brother.

Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.

And He shall savor the fear of Jehovah. And He shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

And righteousness shall be the waistband of His loins, and faithfulness the waistband of His heart.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah, the God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

But let justice flow down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
