God’s Indictment of His People

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 by the LordH3068, And you enduringH386 2foundationsH4144 of the earthH776, BecauseH3588 the 3LordH3068 has a caseH7379 againstH5973 His peopleH5971; And He will disputeH3198 with IsraelH3478.34My peopleH5971, 5whatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you, And 6howH4100 have I weariedH3811 you? AnswerH6030 Me.4IndeedH3588, I 7broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I 8redeemedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650, And I sentH7971 beforeH6440 you 9MosesH4872, AaronH175, and 10MiriamH4813.5My peopleH5971, rememberH2142 nowH4994 WhatH4100 11BalakH1111 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 plannedH3289 And whatH4100 BalaamH1109 sonH1121 of BeorH1160 answeredH6030 him, And what happened from 12ShittimH7851 to 13GilgalH1537, 14SoH4616 thatH4616 you might knowH3045 the 15righteousH6666 actsH6666 of the LordH3068.”

What God Requires of Mankind

616With whatH4100 shall I comeH6923 toH6923 the LordH3068 And bowH3721 myself before the GodH430 on highH4791? Shall I comeH6923 toH6923 Him with 17burntH5930 offeringsH5930, With yearlingH8141 calvesH5695?7Does the LordH3068 takeH7521 pleasureH7521 in 18thousandsH505 of ramsH352, In tenH7233 thousandH7233 riversH5158 of 19oilH8081? Shall I giveH5414 Him my 20firstbornH1060 for my wrongdoingsH6588, The fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315?8He has 21toldH5046 you, mortalH120 oneH120, whatH4100 is goodH2896; And 22whatH4100 does the LordH3068 requireH1875 of you But to 23doH6213 justiceH4941, to 24loveH157 25kindnessH2617, And to walkH1980 2627humblyH6800 with your GodH430?

9The voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 will callH7121 to the cityH5892-- And it is soundH8454 wisdomH8454 to fearH3372 Your nameH8034: “28HearH8085, you tribeH4294. WhoH4310 has designatedH3259 29its time?10Is there stillH5750 a personH376 in the wickedH7563 houseH1004, Along with treasuresH214 of 30wickednessH7562, And a 3132shortH7332 measureH374 that is cursedH2194?11Can I justifyH2135 dishonestH7562 33balancesH3976, And a bagH3599 of fraudulentH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 peopleH6223 of 34the city are fullH4390 of 35violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 36liesH8267, And their 37tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 38sickH2470, strikingH5221 you down, 39MakingH8074 you desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 40not beH7646 satisfiedH7646, And your filthH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 valuables for safekeeping, But you will 41not saveH6403 it all, And whatH834 you do saveH6403 I will turnH5414 overH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 42not harvestH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 press but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And tread out sweetH8492 wineH8492, but you will 43not drinkH8354 any wineH3196.16The statutesH2708 of 44OmriH6018 And everyH3605 workH4639 of the houseH1004 of 45AhabH256 are maintainedH8104, And you 46walkH1980 by their plansH4156. ThereforeH4616 I will giveH5414 you upH5414 for 47destructionH8047, And 48your inhabitantsH3427 for 4950derisionH8322, And you will sufferH5375 the 51tauntingH2781 of My peopleH5971.”
