Mic 6:1 Hear ye now what
the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the
hills hear thy voice.
Mic 6:2 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.
Mic 6:3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I
wearied thee? testify against me.
Mic 6:4 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.
Mic 6:5 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.
Mic 6:6 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?
Mic 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?
Mic 6:8 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?
Mic 6:9 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.
Mic 6:10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the
wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Mic 6:11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the
bag of deceitful weights?
Mic 6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the
inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in
their mouth.
Mic 6:13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making
thee desolate because of thy sins.
Mic 6:14 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.
Mic 6:15 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.
Mic 6:16 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. |
