Hear ye now what the
LORD saith;
Arise,
contend thou before the
mountains, and let the
hills hear thy
voice.

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.

O my
people, what have I
done unto thee? and wherein have I
wearied thee?
testify against me.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?
