* Hear ye now what LORD says : Arise , contend thou before the mountains , and let the hills hear thy voice . * Hear , O ye mountains , LORD 's controversy , and ye enduring foundations of the earth , for LORD has a controversy with his people , and he will contend with Israel . * O my people , what have I done to thee ? And in what have I wearied thee ? Testify against me . * For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt , and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage . And I sent before thee Moses , Aaron , and Miriam . * O my people , remember now what Balak king of Moab devised , and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him . [Remember ] from Shittim to Gilgal , that ye may know the righteous acts of LORD . * Why shall I come before LORD , and bow myself before the high God ? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings , with calves a year old ? * Will LORD be pleased with thousands of rams , [or ] with ten thousand rivers of oil ? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression , the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ? * He has shown thee , O man , what is good . And what does LORD require of thee , but to do justly , and to love kindness , and to walk humbly with thy God ? * The voice of LORD cries to the city , and [the man of ] wisdom will see thy name . Hear ye the rod , and who has appointed it . * Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked , and a scant measure that is abominable ? * Shall I be pure with wicked balances , and with a bag of deceitful weights ? * For the rich men of it are full of violence , and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies , and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth . * Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound , I have made thee desolate because of thy sins . * Thou shall eat , but not be satisfied , and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee . And thou shall put away , but shall not save , and that which thou save I will give up to the sword . * Thou shall sow , but shall not reap , thou shall tread the olives , but shall not anoint thee with oil , and the vintage , but shall not drink the wine . * For the statutes of Omri are kept , and all the works of the house of Ahab , and ye walk in their counsels , that I may make thee a desolation , and the inhabitants thereof a hissing . And ye shall bear the reproach of my people .
