Book 33 : MICAH - Chapter 006
006:001
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
006:002
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I
wearied thee? testify against me
006:003
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
006:004
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
006:005
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
006:006
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
006:007
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
006:008
The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom
shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed
it
006:009
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the
wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable
006:010
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the
bag of deceitful weights
006:011
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the
inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is
deceitful in their mouth
006:012
Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in
making thee desolate because of thy sins
006:013
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
006:014
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
006:015
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
