2 Hear <08085> (8798) ye, O mountains <02022>, the LORD'S <03068> controversy <07379>, and ye strong <0386> foundations <04146> of the earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068> hath a controversy <07379> with his people <05971>, and he will plead <03198> (8691) with Israel <03478>.
3 O my people <05971>, what have I done <06213> (8804) unto thee? and wherein have I wearied <03811> (8689) thee? testify <06030> (8798) against me.
4 For I brought thee up <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and redeemed <06299> (8804) thee out of the house <01004> of servants <05650>; and I sent <07971> (8799) before <06440> thee Moses <04872>, Aaron <0175>, and Miriam <04813>.
5 O my people <05971>, remember <02142> (8798) now what Balak <01111> king <04428> of Moab <04124> consulted <03289> (8804), and what Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> answered <06030> (8804) him from Shittim <07851> unto Gilgal <01537>; that ye may know <03045> (8800) the righteousness <06666> of the LORD <03068>.
6 # Wherewith shall I come before <06923> (8762) the LORD <03068>, and bow <03721> (8735) myself before the high <04791> God <0430>? shall I come before <06923> (8762) him with burnt offerings <05930>, with calves <05695> of a year <08141> old <01121>?
7 Will the LORD <03068> be pleased <07521> (8799) with thousands <0505> of rams <0352>, or with ten thousands <07233> of rivers <05158> of oil <08081>? shall I give <05414> (8799) my firstborn <01060> for my transgression <06588>, the fruit <06529> of my body <0990> for the sin <02403> of my soul <05315>?
8 He hath shewed <05046> (8689) thee, O man <0120>, what is good <02896>; and what doth the LORD <03068> require <01875> (8802) of thee, but to do <06213> (8800) justly <04941>, and to love <0160> mercy <02617>, and to walk <03212> (8800) humbly <06800> (8687) with thy God <0430>?
9 # The LORD'S <03068> voice <06963> crieth <07121> (8799) unto the city <05892>, and the man of wisdom <08454> shall see <07200> (8799) thy name <08034>: hear <08085> (8798) ye the rod <04294>, and who hath appointed <03259> (8804) it.
10 Are there <0786> yet the treasures <0214> of wickedness <07562> (8676) <0376> in the house <01004> of the wicked <07563>, and the scant <07332> measure <0374> that is abominable <02194> (8803)?
11 Shall I count them pure <02135> (8799) with the wicked <07562> balances <03976>, and with the bag <03599> of deceitful <04820> weights <068>?
12 For the rich men <06223> thereof are full <04390> (8804) of violence <02555>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof have spoken <01696> (8765) lies <08267>, and their tongue <03956> is deceitful <07423> in their mouth <06310>.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick <02470> (8689) in smiting <05221> (8687) thee, in making thee desolate <08074> (8687) because of thy sins <02403>.
14 Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799), but not be satisfied <07646> (8799); and thy casting down <03445> shall be in the midst <07130> of thee; and thou shalt take hold <05253> (8686), but shalt not deliver <06403> (8686); and that which thou deliverest <06403> (8762) will I give up <05414> (8799) to the sword <02719>.
15 Thou shalt sow <02232> (8799), but thou shalt not reap <07114> (8799); thou shalt tread <01869> (8799) the olives <02132>, but thou shalt not anoint <05480> (8799) thee with oil <08081>; and sweet wine <08492>, but shalt not drink <08354> (8799) wine <03196>.
16 For the statutes <02708> of Omri <06018> are kept <08104> (8691), and all the works <04639> of the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>, and ye walk <03212> (8799) in their counsels <04156>; that I should make <05414> (8800) thee a desolation <08047>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof an hissing <08322>: therefore ye shall bear <05375> (8799) the reproach <02781> of my people <05971>.
