* Hear ye now what the LORD saith : Arise , contend thou with the mountains , and let the hills hear thy voice . * Hear ye , O mountains , the LORD 'S controversy , and ye strong foundations of the earth ; for the LORD has a controversy with his people , and he will reprove Israel . * O my people , what have I done unto thee ? and in what have I wearied thee ? testify against me . * For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt and ransomed thee out of the house of servants ; and I sent before thee 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 unto Gilgal : that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD . * With what shall I present myself before the LORD , [and how ] shall I worship 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 rebellion , the fruit of my bowels [for ] the sin of my soul ? * He has declared unto thee , O man , what [is ] good and what the LORD requires of thee : only to do [right ] judgment , and to love mercy , and to humble thyself to walk with thy God . * The LORD 'S voice cries [out ] unto the city , and [the man of ] wisdom shall see thy name : hear ye the rod , and [he ] who has established it . * Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked and the scant measure [that is ] abominable ? * Can I be pure with false balances and with a bag of deceitful weights ? * With which their rich men are full of violence , and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies , and their tongue [is ] deceitful in their mouth . * Therefore I have also made [thee ] weak in smiting thee , in making [thee ] desolate because of thy sins . * Thou shalt eat , but not be satisfied ; and thy casting down [shall be ] in the midst of thee ; and thou shalt take , but shalt not be saved ; and [that ] which thou dost save , I will give it up to the sword . * Thou shalt sow , but thou shalt not reap ; thou shalt tread the olives , but thou shalt not anoint thee with the oil ; and sweet wine , but shalt not drink the wine . * For the statutes of Omri have been kept and all the works of the house of Ahab , and ye have walked in their counsels that I should make thee a desolation , and the inhabitants thereof a hissing : therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people .:
