* Hear ye now what the LORD saith : Arise , contend thou before the mountains , and let the hills hear thy voice . * Hear , O ye mountains , the LORD 'S controversy , and ye enduring rocks , the foundations of the earth ; for the LORD hath a controversy with His people , and He will plead with Israel . * O My people , what have I done unto thee ? And wherein 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 ; from Shittim unto Gilgal , that ye may know the righteous acts of the LORD . * 'Wherewith shall I come before the LORD , and bow myself before God on high ? Shall I come before Him with burnt-offerings , with calves of a year old ? * Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams , with ten thousands of rivers of oil ? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression , the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ?' * It hath been told thee , O man , what is good , and what the LORD doth require of thee : only to do justly , and to love mercy , and to walk humbly with thy God . * Hark ! the LORD crieth unto the city--and it is wisdom to have regard for Thy name--hear ye the rod , and who hath appointed it . * Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked , and the scant measure that is abominable ? * 'Shall I be pure with wicked balances , and with a 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 I also do smite thee with a grievous wound ; I do make thee desolate because of thy sins . * Thou shalt eat , but not be satisfied ; and thy sickness shall be in thine inward parts ; and thou shalt conceive , but shalt not bring forth ; and whomsoever thou bringest forth will I give up to the sword . * Thou shalt sow , but shalt not reap ; thou shalt tread the olives , but shalt not anoint thee with oil ; and the vintage , but shalt not drink 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 an astonishment , and the inhabitants thereof a hissing ; and ye shall bear the reproach of My people .
