3. O Ami (My people), what have I done unto thee? And wherein have I been a burden to thee? Testify against Me.
4. For I brought thee up out of Eretz Mitzrayim, and redeemed thee out of the bais avadim (house of slaves); and sent before thee Moshe, Aharon, and Miryam.
5. O Ami (My people), remember now what Balak Melech Moav did plot, and what Bala'am ben Beor answered him from Sheetim to Gilgal [See Yehoshua chps 3-4]; that ye may have da'as of the tzidkot (righteous acts of) Hashem.
6. With what shall I come before Hashem, and bow myself before Elohei Marom (G-d on High)? Shall I come before Him with olot (burnt offerings), with calves a year old?
7. Will Hashem be pleased with thousands of eilim (rams), or with ten thousand rivers of shemen (olive oil)? Shall I give my bechor (firstborn) for my peysha, the p'ri (fruit) of my beten for the chattat (sin) of my nefesh?
8. He hath showed thee, O adam (man), what is tov. And what doth Hashem require of thee, but to do mishpat, and ahavat chesed, and to walk humbly with Eloheicha?
