Have looked at the Hebrew text on "love" and the Strong's reference number #160. Most identify it as a noun not a verb. No punctuation is used in Hebrew so would it be more proper to say this verse with English punctuation should be: "do justice, love, mercy; and walk humbly with God"?

Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
But he who hates correction is stupid.
Proverbs 15:32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love in my heart, I am nothing. … Love is long-suffering and is kind; love does not envy; love does not make a vain display of itself, and does not boast, Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil...
