Hear{H8085} ye now what Jehovah{H3068} saith:{H559} Arise,{H6965} contend{H7378} thou before the mountains,{H2022} and let the hills{H1389} hear{H8085} thy voice.{H6963}

Hear,{H8085} O ye mountains,{H2022} Jehovah's{H3068} controversy,{H7379} and ye enduring{H386} foundations{H4146} of the earth;{H776} for Jehovah{H3068} hath a controversy{H7379} with his people,{H5971} and he will contend{H3198} with Israel.{H3478}

O my people,{H5971} what have I done{H6213} unto thee? and wherein have I wearied{H3811} thee? testify{H6030} against me.

For I brought thee up{H5927} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and redeemed{H6299} thee out of the house{H1004} of bondage;{H5650} and I sent{H7971} before{H6440} thee Moses,{H4872} Aaron,{H175} and Miriam.{H4813}

O my people,{H5971} remember{H2142} now what Balak{H1111} king{H4428} of Moab{H4124} devised,{H3289} and what Balaam{H1109} the son{H1121} of Beor{H1160} answered{H6030} him; [remember] from Shittim{H7851} unto Gilgal,{H1537} that ye may know{H3045} the righteous{H6666} acts of Jehovah.{H3068}

Wherewith shall I come before{H6923} Jehovah,{H3068} and bow{H3721} myself before the high{H4791} God?{H430} shall I come before{H6923} him with burnt-offerings,{H5930} with calves{H5695} a year{H8141} old?{H1121}

will Jehovah{H3068} be pleased{H7521} with thousands{H505} of rams,{H352} [or] with ten thousands{H7233} of rivers{H5158} of oil?{H8081} shall I give{H5414} my first-born{H1060} for my transgression,{H6588} the fruit{H6529} of my body{H990} for the sin{H2403} of my soul?{H5315}

He hath showed{H5046} thee, O man,{H120} what is good;{H2896} and what doth Jehovah{H3068} require{H1875} of thee, but to do{H6213} justly,{H4941} and to love{H160} kindness,{H2617} and to walk{H3212} humbly{H6800} with thy God?{H430}

The voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} crieth{H7121} unto the city,{H5892} and [the man of] wisdom{H8454} will see{H7200} thy name:{H8034} hear{H8085} ye the rod,{H4294} and who hath appointed{H3259} it.

Are there{H786} yet treasures{H214} of wickedness{H7562} in the house{H1004} of the wicked,{H7563} and a scant{H7332} measure{H374} that is abominable?{H2194}

Shall I be pure{H2135} with wicked{H7562} balances,{H3976} and with a bag{H3599} of deceitful{H4820} weights?{H68}

For the rich men{H6223} thereof are full{H4390} of violence,{H2555} and the inhabitants{H3427} thereof have spoken{H1696} lies,{H8267} and their tongue{H3956} is deceitful{H7423} in their mouth.{H6310}

Therefore I also have smitten{H2470} thee with a grievous wound;{H5221} I have made thee desolate{H8074} because of thy sins.{H2403}

Thou shalt eat,{H398} but not be satisfied;{H7646} and thy humiliation{H3445} shall be in the midst{H7130} of thee: and thou shalt put away,{H5253} but shalt not save;{H6403} and that which thou savest{H6403} will I give up{H5414} to the sword.{H2719}

Thou shalt sow,{H2232} but shalt not reap;{H7114} thou shalt tread{H1869} the olives,{H2132} but shalt not anoint{H5480} thee with oil;{H8081} and the vintage,{H8492} but shalt not drink{H8354} the wine.{H8492}

For the statutes{H2708} of Omri{H6018} are kept,{H8104} and all the works{H4639} of the house{H1004} of Ahab,{H256} and ye walk{H3212} in their counsels;{H4156} that I may make{H5414} thee a desolation,{H8047} and the inhabitants{H3427} thereof a hissing:{H8322} and ye shall bear{H5375} the reproach{H2781} of my people.{H5971}
