# Chapter 6
|
|
1. Hear now what the Lord says:
|
|
"Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
|
|
And let the hills hear your voice.
|
|
|
|
2. Hear, O you mountains, the Lord's complaint,
|
|
And you strong foundations of the earth;
|
|
For the Lord has a complaint against His people,
|
|
And He will contend with Israel.
|
|
|
|
3. "O My people, what have I done to you?
|
|
And how have I wearied you?
|
|
Testify against Me.
|
|
|
|
4. For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
|
|
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
|
|
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
|
|
|
|
5. O My people, remember now
|
|
What Balak king of Moab counseled,
|
|
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
|
|
From Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
|
|
That you may know the righteousness of the Lord."
|
|
|
|
6. With what shall I come before the Lord,
|
|
And bow myself before the High God?
|
|
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
|
|
With calves a year old?
|
|
|
|
7. Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
|
|
Ten thousand rivers of oil?
|
|
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
|
|
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
|
|
|
|
8. He has shown you, O man, what is good;
|
|
And what does the Lord require of you
|
|
But to do justly,
|
|
To love mercy,
|
|
And to walk humbly with your God?Punishment of Israel's Injustice
|
|
|
|
9. The Lord's voice cries to the city--
|
|
Wisdom shall see Your name:
|
|
"Hear the rod!
|
|
Who has appointed it?
|
|
|
|
10. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
|
|
In the house of the wicked,
|
|
And the short measure that is an abomination?
|
|
|
|
11. Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales,
|
|
And with the bag of deceitful weights?
|
|
|
|
12. For her rich men are full of violence,
|
|
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
|
|
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
|
|
|
|
13. "Therefore I will also make you sick by striking you,
|
|
By making you desolate because of your sins.
|
|
|
|
14. You shall eat, but not be satisfied;
|
|
Hunger shall be in your midst.
|
|
You may carry some away, but shall not save them;
|
|
And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.
|
|
|
|
15. "You shall sow, but not reap;
|
|
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
|
|
And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.
|
|
|
|
16. For the statutes of Omri are kept;
|
|
All the works of Ahab's house are done;
|
|
And you walk in their counsels,
|
|
That I may make you a desolation,
|
|
And your inhabitants a hissing.
|
|
Therefore you shall bear the reproach of My people."
