[5] Fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, that is, the fragments from Wadi Murabba'at Minor Prophets (Mur88; MurXIIProph; 75-100 CE) with extant verses 1–7, 11–16.

The principles of righteous conduct, not just a formal worship, are required and that the inculcation of moral virtues is often connected with the prediction of woe or captivity (cf. 1 Samuel 15:22 ; Psalm 40:6 , Isaiah 1:11–17 ; Jeremiah 6:20 ; Hosea 6:6, Zechariah 7:7 ) [11]
These three moral duties are summed up by Jesus Christ ("judgment, mercy, and faith" in Matthew 23:23 ; "the love of God" in Luke 11:42 ; cf. James 1:27 ). [13]
