* Hear you now what the LORD said ; Arise , contend you before the mountains , and let the hills hear your voice . * Hear you , O mountains , the LORD ' controversy , and you strong foundations of the earth : for the LORD has a controversy with his people , and he will plead with Israel . * O my people , what have I done to you ? and wherein have I wearied you ? testify against me . * For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt , and redeemed you out of the house of servants ; and I sent before you Moses , Aaron , and Miriam . * O my people , remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted , and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal ; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD . * With which shall I come before the LORD , and bow myself before the high God ? shall I come before him with burnt offerings , with calves of a year old ? * Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams , or with ten thousands of rivers of oil ? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression , the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ? * He has showed you , O man , what is good ; and what does the LORD require of you , but to do justly , and to love mercy , and to walk humbly with your God ? * The LORD ' voice cries to the city , and the man of wisdom shall see your name : hear you the rod , and who has appointed it . * Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked , and the scant measure that is abominable ? * Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances , and with the bag of deceitful weights ? * For the rich men thereof are full of violence , and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies , and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth . * Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you , in making you desolate because of your sins . * You shall eat , but not be satisfied ; and your casting down shall be in the middle of you ; and you shall take hold , but shall not deliver ; and that which you deliver will I give up to the sword . * You shall sow , but you shall not reap ; you shall tread the olives , but you shall not anoint you with oil ; and sweet wine , but shall not drink wine . * For the statutes of Omri are kept , and all the works of the house of Ahab , and you walk in their counsels ; that I should make you a desolation , and the inhabitants thereof an hissing : therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people .
