MICAH
[VI
- And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
- Such as they have not heard.
- 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?
