* Hear ye now what the LORD saith ; Arise , contend thou before the mountains , and let the hills hear thy voice . * Hear ye , O mountains , the LORDS controversy , and ye strong foundations of the earth : for the LORD hath a controversy with his people , and he will plead with Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 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 . * Wherewith 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 hath shewed thee , O man , what is good ; and what doth the LORD require of thee , but to do justly , and to love mercy , and to walk humbly with thy God ? * The LORDS voice crieth unto the city , and the man of wisdom shall see 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 count them pure with the wicked balances mo #zen #, 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 thee sick in smiting thee , in making thee desolate because of thy sins chatta #ah #. * Thou shalt eat , but not be satisfied ; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee ; and thou shalt take hold , but shalt not deliver ; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword . * Thou shalt sow , but thou shalt not reap ; thou shalt tread the olives , but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil ; and sweet wine , but shalt not drink wine . * For the statutes of Omri are kept , and all the works of the house of Ahab #Ach #ab #, and ye walk in their counsels mow #etsah #; that I should make thee a desolation , and the inhabitants thereof an hissing : therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people .
