6:1  Hear you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
6:2  Hear you, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
6:3  O my people, what have I done unto you? and in what have I wearied you? testify against me.
6:4  For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
6:5  O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6:6  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?
6:7  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?
6:8  He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
6:9  The LORD'S voice cries unto the city, and wisdom shall see your name: Hear the rod, and who has appointed it.
6:10  Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is abominable?
6:11  Shall I count those pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
6:12  For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
6:13  Therefore also will I make you sick in striking you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
6:14  You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and hunger shall be in your midst; and you shall carry away, but shall not save; and that which you save will I give up to the sword.
6:15  You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint yourself with oil; and make sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
6:16  For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing: therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people.
