Micah 6

6 Hear, please, what Yahweh is saying:

“Arise, contend before the mountains,

and let the hills hear your voice.”

2 Hear the dispute of Yahweh, mountains,

and permanent foundations of the earth,

for a disputeis to Yahweh with his people,

and with Israel he will argue:

3 “My people, what have I done to you,

and how have I wearied you?

Testify against me!

4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,

and from the house of slaves I redeemed you,

and I sent before your face

Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 My people, please remember what Balak king of Moab counseled,

and what Balaam son of Beor answered him,

from Shittim to Gilgal,

in order to know the righteousnesses of Yahweh.”

6 With what shall I come before Yahweh,

bow down to the God of the height?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

with calves, sons of a year?

7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams,

with ten thousands of rivers of oil?

Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,

the fruit of my belly for the sin of my soul?

8 He has told you, man, what is good,

and what Yahweh is seeking from you:

only to do justice,

and the love of covenant faithfulness,

and to be humble to walk with your God.

9 The voice of Yahweh calls to the city

—(and sound wisdom fears your name),

Hear, tribe and whoever he appointed:

10 “Are there still in the house of the wicked treasuries

of wickedness,

and the ephah of leanness

that is cursed?

11 Would I be innocent with scales of wickedness,

and with a bag of stones of deceit?

12 —which her rich are full of violence,

and her inhabitants speak falsehood,

and their tongue is deceit in their mouth.

13 And even I, I will make sick the striking of you,

devastating you because of your sins.

14 You, you will eat but not be satisfied,

for dysentery will be inside you.

And you will pull people back but not rescue,

and what you do rescue, I will give to the sword.

15 You, you will sow but not reap;

you, you will tread the olive but not anoint yourself with oil;

and—new wine but not drink wine.

16 For the statutes of Omri are kept,

and all of the deeds of the house of Ahab;

and you have walked in their counsels,

so that I will make you a desolation,

and her inhabitants a hissing,

and the reproach of my people you will bear.” [fn]
