Hear
ye
now
what
the
LORD
saith;
Arise,
contend
thou
before
the
mountains,
and
let
the
hills
hear
thy
voice.
2
Hear
ye,
O
mountains,
the
LORD’S
controversy,
and
ye
strong
foundations
of
the
earth:
for
the
LORD
hath
a
controversy
with
his
people,
and
he
will
plead
with
Israel.
3
O
my
people,
what
have
I
done
unto
thee?
and
wherein
have
I
wearied
thee?
testify
against
4
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.
5
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.
6
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?
7
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?
8
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?
9
The
LORD’S
voice
crieth
unto
the
city,
and
[the
man
of]
wisdom
shall
see
thy
name:
hear
ye
the
rod,
and
who
hath
appointed
10
Are
there
yet
the
treasures
of
wickedness
in
the
house
of
the
wicked,
and
the
scant
measure
[that
is]
abominable?
11
Shall
I
count
[them]
pure
with
the
wicked
balances,
and
with
the
bag
of
deceitful
weights?
12
For
the
rich
men
thereof
are
full
of
violence,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
have
spoken
lies,
and
their
tongue
[is]
deceitful
in
their
mouth.
13
Therefore
also
will
I
make
[thee]
sick
in
smiting
thee,
in
making
[thee]
desolate
because
of
thy
sins.
14
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.
15
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.
16
For
the
statutes
of
Omri
are
kept,
and
all
the
works
of
the
house
of
Ahab,
and
ye
walk
in
their
counsels;
that
I
should
make
thee
a
desolation,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
an
hissing:
therefore
ye
shall
bear
the
reproach
of
my
people.
