HearH8085 you nowH4994 whatH834 the LORDH3068 said;H559 Arise,H6965 contendH7378 you beforeH854 the mountains,H2022 and let the hillsH1389 hearH8085 your voice.H6963
2
HearH8085 you, O mountains,H2022 the LORD'sH3068 controversy,H7379 and you strongH386 foundationsH4146 of the earth:H776 for the LORDH3068 has a controversyH7379 with his people,H5971 and he will pleadH3198 with Israel.H3478
3
O my people,H5971 whatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you? and whereinH4100 have I weariedH3811 you? testifyH6030 against me.
4
For I broughtH5927 you up out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of servants;H5650 and I sentH7971 beforeH6440 you Moses,H4872 Aaron,H175 and Miriam.H4813
5
O my people,H5971 rememberH2142 nowH4994 whatH4100 BalakH1111 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 consulted,H3289 and whatH4100 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 answeredH6030 him from ShittimH7851 to Gilgal;H1537 that you may knowH3045 the righteousnessH6666 of the LORD.H3068
6
With whichH4100 shall I comeH6923 beforeH6924 the LORD,H3068 and bowH3721 myself before the highH4791 God?H430 shall I comeH6923 beforeH6924 him with burntH5930 offerings, with calvesH5695 of a yearH8141 old?H1121
7
Will the LORDH3068 be pleasedH7521 with thousandsH505 of rams,H352 or with tenH7233 thousandsH7233 of riversH5158 of oil?H8081 shall I giveH5414 my firstbornH1060 for my transgression,H6588 the fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soul?H5315
8
He has showedH5046 you, O man,H120 whatH4100 is good;H2896 and whatH4100 does the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of you, but to doH6213 justly,H4941 and to loveH160 mercy,H2617 and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with your God?H430
9
The LORD'sH3068 voiceH6963 criesH7121 to the city,H5892 and the man of wisdomH8454 shall seeH7200 your name:H8034 hearH8085 you the rod,H4294 and whoH4310 has appointedH3259 it.
10
Are there yetH5750 the treasuresH214 of wickednessH7562 in the houseH1004 of the wicked,H7563 and the scantH7332 measureH374 that is abominable?H2194
11
Shall I count them pureH2135 with the wickedH7562 balances,H3976 and with the bagH3599 of deceitfulH4820 weights?H68
12
For the richH6223 men thereof are fullH4390 of violence,H2555 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof have spokenH1696 lies,H8267 and their tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouth.H6310
13
Therefore alsoH1571 will I make you sickH2470 in smitingH5221 you, in making you desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of your sins.H2403
14
You shall eat,H398 but not be satisfied;H7646 and your castingH3445 down shall be in the middleH7130 of you; and you shall takeH5253 hold,H5253 but shall not deliver;H6403 and that whichH834 you deliverH6403 will I giveH5414 up to the sword.H2719
15
You shall sow,H2232 but you shall not reap;H7114 you shall treadH1869 the olives,H2132 but you shall not anointH5480 you with oil;H8081 and sweetH8492 wine,H8492 but shall not drinkH8354 wine.H3196
16
For the statutesH2708 of OmriH6018 are kept,H8104 and allH3605 the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of Ahab,H256 and you walkH3212 in their counsels;H4156 that I should makeH5414 you a desolation,H8047 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof an hissing:H8322 therefore you shall bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my people.H5971
