He has showed you, O man, what is good. ...Micah 6:8<br />He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.<br /><br />Zechariah 7:9<br />"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.<br /><br />Matthew 12:18<br />Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.<br /><br />Matthew 23:23<br />"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.<br /><br />Luke 11:42<br />"Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone."Maureen Burkenoreply@blogger.com
