“Listen, you tribe assembled in the city.b

The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
and it is sound wisdom to fear your name:
“Hear of the rod and of him who appointed it!
Can I forget any longer the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?

Listen! The Lord is calling to the city—
and to fear your name is wisdom—
“Heed the rod and the One who appointed it.
Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short ephah, which is accursed?
Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,
with a bag of false weights?

The voice of the Lord calls out to the city
(and it is wise to fear your name):
“Pay attention to the rod
and the one who ordained it.
Are there still the treasures of wickedness
and the accursed short measure
in the house of the wicked?
Can I excuse wicked scales
or bags of deceptive weights?

NLTNew Living Translation
Fear the Lord if you are wise!
His voice calls to everyone in Jerusalem:
“The armies of destruction are coming;
the Lord is sending them.
What shall I say about the homes of the wicked
filled with treasures gained by cheating?
What about the disgusting practice
of measuring out grain with dishonest measures?
How can I tolerate your merchants
who use dishonest scales and weights?

The voice of Yahweh calls to the city
(it is sound judgment to fear your name):
“Hear, O staff! Now who has appointed it?
Is there any longer a man in the house of the wicked
treasures of wickedness,
and the ephah of scarcity which is accursed?
Shall I regard as pure the one with scales of wickedness,
and with a bag of deceitful weights?

KJV 1900King James Version
The Lord’s voice crieth unto the city,
And the man of wisdom shall see thy name:
Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
And the scant measure that is abominable?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances,
And with the bag of deceitful weights?
