1HearH8085 nowH4994 whatH834 the LordH3068 is sayingH559, “AriseH6965, pleadH7378 your caseH7378 1beforeH854 the mountainsH2022, And let the hillsH1389 hearH8085 your voiceH6963.2ListenH8085, you mountainsH2022, to the indictmentH7379 of the LordH3068, And you enduringH386 2foundationsH4144 of the earthH776, BecauseH3588 the 3LordH3068 has a caseH7379 againstH5973 His peopleH5971; Even with IsraelH3478 He will disputeH3198.34My peopleH5971, 5whatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you, And 6howH4100 have I weariedH3811 you? AnswerH6030 Me.4IndeedH3588, I 7broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 And 8ransomedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650, And I sentH7971 beforeH6440 you 9MosesH4872, AaronH175 and 10MiriamH4813.5My peopleH5971, rememberH2142 nowH4994 WhatH4100 11BalakH1111 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 counseledH3289 And whatH4100 BalaamH1109 sonH1121 of BeorH1160 answeredH6030 him, And from 12ShittimH7851 to 13GilgalH1537, SoH4616 14that you might knowH3045 the 15righteousH6666 actsH6666 of the LordH3068.”

What God Requires of Man

616With whatH4100 shall I comeH6923 to the LordH3068 And bowH3721 myself before the GodH430 on highH4791? Shall I comeH6923 to Him with 17burntH5930 offeringsH5930, With yearlingH8141 calvesH5695?7Does the LordH3068 takeH7521 delightH7521 in 18thousandsH505 of ramsH352, In tenH7233 thousandH7233 riversH5158 of oilH8081? Shall I presentH5414 my 19firstbornH1060 for my rebelliousH6588 actsH6588, The fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315?8He has 20toldH5046 you, O manH120, whatH4100 is goodH2896; And 21whatH4100 does the LordH3068 requireH1875 of you But to 22doH6213 justiceH4941, to 23loveH157 24kindnessH2617, And to walkH1980 2526humblyH6800 with your GodH430?

9The voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 will callH7121 to the cityH5892-- And it is soundH8454 wisdomH8454 to fearH3372 Your nameH8034: “HearH8085, O tribeH4294. WhoH4310 has appointedH3259 27its time?10Is there yetH5750 a manH376 in the wickedH7563 houseH1004, Along with treasuresH214 of 28wickednessH7562 And a 2930shortH7332 measureH374 that is cursedH2194?11Can I justifyH2135 wickedH7562 31scalesH3976 And a bagH3599 of deceptiveH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 menH6223 of the 32city are fullH4390 of 33violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 34liesH8267, And their 35tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 36sickH2470, strikingH5221 you downH5221, 37DesolatingH8074 you becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 38not be satisfiedH7646, And your 39vilenessH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 for safekeeping, But you will 40not preserveH6403 anything, And whatH834 you do preserveH6403 I will giveH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 41not reapH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And the grapesH8492, but you will 42not drinkH8354 wineH3196.16The statutesH2708 of 43OmriH6018 And allH3605 the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of 44AhabH256 are observedH8104; And in their devicesH4156 you 45walkH1980. ThereforeH4616 I will giveH5414 you up for 46destructionH8047 And 47your inhabitantsH3427 for 48derisionH8322, And you will bearH5375 the 49reproachH2781 of My peopleH5971.”
