* Hear now a word : the Lord God has said ; Arise , plead with the mountains , and let the hills hear thy voice . * Hear ye , O mountains , the controversy of the Lord , and ye valleys even the foundations of the earth : for the Lord has a controversy with his people , and will plead with Israel . * O my people , what have I done to thee ? or wherein have I grieved thee ? or wherein have I troubled thee ? answer me . * For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt , and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage , and sent before thee Moses , and Aaron , and Mariam . * O my people , remember now , what counsel Balac king of Moab took against thee , and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him , from the reeds to Galgal ; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known . * Wherewithal shall I reach the Lord , and lay hold of my God most high ? shall I reach him by whole-burnt-offerings , by calves of a year old ? * Will the Lord accept thousands of rams , or ten thousands of fat goats ? should I give my first-born for ungodliness , the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ? * Has it not been told thee , O man , what is good ? or what does the Lord require of thee , but to do justice , and love mercy , and be ready to walk with the Lord thy God ? * The Lord ’s voice shall be proclaimed in the city , and he shall save those that fear his name : hear , (note :)Hebrews . Jbv ambiguous (:note ) O tribe ; and who shall order the city ? * Is there not fire , and the house of the wicked heaping up wicked treasures , and that with the pride of unrighteousness ? * Shall the wicked be justified by the balance , or deceitful weights in the bag , * whereby they have accumulated their ungodly wealth , and they that dwell in (note :)Gr . it (:note ) the city have uttered falsehoods , and their tongue has been exalted in their mouth ? * Therefore will I begin to smite thee ; I will destroy thee in thy sins . * Thou shalt eat , and shalt not be satisfied ; and there shall be darkness upon thee ; and he shall depart from thee , and thou shalt not escape ; and all that shall escape shall be delivered over to the sword . * Thou shalt sow , but thou shalt not reap ; thou shalt press the olive , but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil ; and shalt make wine , but ye shall drink no wine : and the ordinances of my people shall be utterly abolished . * For thou hast kept the statues of Zambri , and done all the works of the house of Achaab ; and ye have walked in their ways , that I might deliver thee to utter destruction , and those that inhabit the city to hissing : and ye shall bear the reproach of nations .
