ASV_Strong : Micah 6
1. Hear[H8085] ye now what Jehovah[H3068] saith[H559]: Arise[H6965], contend[H7378] thou before the mountains[H2022], and let the hills[H1389] hear[H8085] thy voice[H6963].
2. Hear[H8085], O ye mountains[H2022], Jehovah[H3068]'s controversy[H7379], and ye enduring[H386] foundations[H4146] of the earth[H776]; for Jehovah[H3068] hath a controversy[H7379] with his people[H5971], and he will contend[H3198] with Israel[H3478].
3. O my people[H5971], what have I done[H6213] unto thee[H3811]? and wherein have I wearied thee[H6030]? testify against me.
4. For I brought thee up[H5927] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and redeemed[H6299] thee out of the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650]; and I sent[H7971] before[H6440] thee Moses[H4872], Aaron[H175], and Miriam[H4813].
5. O my people[H5971], remember[H2142] now what Balak[H1111] king[H4428] of Moab[H4124] devised[H3289], and what Balaam[H1109] the son[H1121] of Beor[H1160] answered[H6030] him[H7851]; remember from Shittim unto Gilgal[H1537], that ye may know[H3045] the righteous[H6666] acts of Jehovah[H3068].
6. Wherewith shall I come before[H6923] Jehovah[H3068], and bow[H3721] myself before the high[H4791] God[H430]? shall I come before[H6923] him with burnt-offerings[H5930], with calves[H5695] a year[H8141] old[H1121]?
7. will Jehovah[H3068] be pleased[H7521] with thousands[H505] of rams[H352], or with ten thousands[H7233] of rivers[H5158] of oil[H8081]? shall I give[H5414] my first-born[H1060] for my transgression[H6588], the fruit[H6529] of my body[H990] for the sin[H2403] of my soul[H5315]?
8. He hath showed[H5046] thee[H120], O man, what is good[H2896]; and what doth Jehovah[H3068] require[H1875] of thee[H6213], but to do justly[H4941], and to love[H160] kindness[H2617], and to walk[H3212] humbly[H6800] with thy God[H430]?
9. The voice[H6963] of Jehovah[H3068] crieth[H7121] unto the city[H5892], and the man of wisdom[H8454] will see[H7200] thy name[H8034]: hear[H8085] ye the rod[H4294], and who hath appointed it[H3259].
10. Are there[H786] yet treasures[H214] of wickedness[H7562] in the house[H1004] of the wicked[H7563], and a scant[H7332] measure[H374] that is abominable[H2194]?
11. Shall I be pure[H2135] with wicked[H7562] balances[H3976], and with a bag[H3599] of deceitful[H4820] weights[H68]?
12. For the rich men[H6223] thereof are full[H4390] of violence[H2555], and the inhabitants[H3427] thereof have spoken[H1696] lies[H8267], and their tongue[H3956] is deceitful[H7423] in their mouth[H6310].
13. Therefore I also have smitten[H2470] thee with a grievous wound[H5221]; I have made thee desolate[H8074] because of thy sins[H2403].
14. Thou shalt eat[H398], but not be satisfied[H7646]; and thy humiliation[H3445] shall be in the midst[H7130] of thee[H5253]: and thou shalt put away, but shalt not save[H6403]; and that which thou savest[H6403] will I give up[H5414] to the sword[H2719].
15. Thou shalt sow[H2232], but shalt not reap[H7114]; thou shalt tread[H1869] the olives[H2132], but shalt not anoint[H5480] thee with oil[H8081]; and the vintage[H8492], but shalt not drink[H8354] the wine[H8492].
16. For the statutes[H2708] of Omri[H6018] are kept[H8104], and all the works[H4639] of the house[H1004] of Ahab[H256], and ye walk[H3212] in their counsels[H4156]; that I may make[H5414] thee a desolation[H8047], and the inhabitants[H3427] thereof a hissing[H8322]: and ye shall bear[H5375] the reproach[H2781] of my people[H5971].
