2 Let the mountains hear the judgement of our Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth: because the judgement of our Lord is with his people, and with Israel he will be judged.📜💬📚

3 My people what have I done to thee, or what have I molested thee? Answer me.📜💬📚

4 Because I brought thee out of the Land of AEgypt, and delivered thee out of the house of them that served: and sent before thy face Moyses, and Aaron, and Mary?📜💬📚

5 My people remember I pray thee, what Balach the king of Moab purposed: and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him: from Setim even to Galgal, that thou mightest know the justices of our Lord.📜💬📚

6 What worthy thing shall I offer to our Lord? Shall I bow the knee to the high God? What shall I offer unto him holocausts, and calves of a year old?📜💬📚

7 Why, can our Lord be pacified with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat buckgoats? Why, shall I give my first born for my wickedness, the fruit of my womb for the sin of my soul?📜💬📚

8 I will shew thee o man what is good, and what our Lord requireth of thee: Verily to do judgement, and to love mercy, and to walk solicitous with thy God.📜💬📚

Punishment of Israel

9 The voice of our Lord crieth to the city, and salvation shall be to them that fear thy name: hear ye o tribes, and who shall approve it?📜💬📚

10 As yet there is fire in the house of the impious, treasures of iniquity, and a lesser measure full of wrath.📜💬📚

11 Why, shall I justify an impious balance, and the deceitful weights of the bag?📜💬📚

12 By which her richmen were replenished with iniquity, and the inhabitants therein spake lies, and their tongue was fraudulent in their mouth.📜💬📚

13 And I therefore began to strike thee with perdition for thy sins.📜💬📚

14 Thou shalt eat, and shalt not be filled: and thy humiliation in the midst of thee: and thou shalt apprehend, and shalt not save: & whom thou shalt save, I will give unto the sword.📜💬📚

15 Thou shalt sow, and shalt not reap: thou shalt tread the olive, and shalt not be anointed with the oil: and press muste, and shalt not drink the wine.📜💬📚

16 And thou hast kept the precepts of Amri, and all the work of the house of Achab: & thou hast walked in their wills, that I might give thee into perdition, and the inhabitants therein into hissing, and the reproach of my people you shall bear.📜💬📚
