Micah|6:1|-|Hear now what Jehovah says:Arise, contend before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
Micah|6:2|-|Hear, O mountains, Jehovah’s contention,And you enduring foundations of the earth;
For Jehovah has a |a|contention with His people,And with Israel He will dispute.
Micah|6:3|-|O My people, what have I done to You?And with what have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
Micah|6:4|-|For I |a|brought you up out of the land of Egypt,And from the slave house I redeemed you;
And I sent before you Moses,Aaron, and |b|Miriam.
Micah|6:5|-|O My people, remember now what Balak the king of Moab counseled,And what |a|Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From |b|Shittim to Gilgal,That you may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
Micah|6:6|-|With what shall I come before JehovahAnd bow myself before the high God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,With one-year-old calves?
Micah|6:7|-|Will Jehovah be |a|pleased with thousands of rams,With tens of thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my |1|firstborn for my transgression,The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Micah|6:8|-|He has declared to you, O man, what is good;And what does Jehovah require of you,
|1|But that you would execute |a|justice and love mercyAnd walk humbly with your God?
Micah|6:9|-|The voice of Jehovah cries out to the city,And wisdom looks upon Your name.
Hear the rod and Him who appointed it.
Micah|6:10|-|Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,And a scant measure that is abominable?
Micah|6:11|-|Shall I be pure with wicked balancesAnd with a bag of deceitful weights?
Micah|6:12|-|For the rich men of |1|the city are full of violence,And those who inhabit it speak falsehood,
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Micah|6:13|-|Thus I also have made you sick by striking you;I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Micah|6:14|-|You will eat, but you will not be satisfied;And your emptiness will remain in the midst of you;
And you will take away,But you will not rescue,
And what you rescue I will give up to the sword.
Micah|6:15|-|You will |a|sow,But you will not reap;
You will tread olives,But you will not anoint yourself with oil,
And the new wine,But you will not drink wine.
Micah|6:16|-|For the statutes of |a|Omri are kept,And all the works of the house of |b|Ahab;
And you walk in their counsels,That I may make you a desolation,
And the inhabitants of the city a hissing;And you will bear the reproach of My people.
