Chapter 6

1


 

  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 to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me,  

 

 

-

4


 

  For I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee from 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 to 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 first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?  

 

 

-

8


 

  He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD doth require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?  

 

 

-

9


 

  The LORD'S voice crieth to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.  

 

 

-

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.
