Listen now to what the LORD says: Jer 22:29Deu 32:1Mic 1:2Ezk 36:1Psa 50:4Deu 4:26Isa 1:2Ezk 36:8
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, Hos 12:2Hos 4:1Isa 1:182Sa 22:16Deu 32:22Pro 8:29Psa 104:52Sa 22:8
and you enduring foundations of the earth;
for the LORD has a case against his people,
and he will contend with Israel.
My people, what have I done to you? Jer 2:5Isa 43:22-23Jer 2:31Psa 81:13Psa 50:7Mic 6:5Rom 3:19Rom 3:4-5
How have I burdened you?
Answer me!
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, Deu 7:8Exo 12:51Psa 136:10-112Sa 7:23Amo 2:10Exo 15:20-21Exo 20:2Isa 63:9-12
and redeemed you out of the house of bondage.
I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, Jos 5:9-10Num 25:1Jdg 5:112Pe 2:15Deu 16:3Jos 4:19Jos 24:9-101Jn 1:9
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal,
that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD.”
How shall I come before the LORD, Psa 51:16-17Rom 10:2-3Psa 40:6-8Act 2:37Dan 3:26Mat 19:16Mrk 5:72Sa 21:3
and bow myself before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? 2Ki 16:31Sa 15:22Psa 51:16Hos 6:6Psa 50:92Ki 21:62Ki 23:102Ki 3:27
With tens of thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience?
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has shown you, O man, what is good. Deu 10:12-13Pro 21:3Col 3:12Jer 22:3Hos 6:61Sa 15:22Isa 66:21Pe 3:8
What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly,
to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
The LORD’s voice calls to the city— Hos 14:9Rev 3:19Isa 30:27Zep 3:22Ki 22:11-202Sa 21:1Amo 2:5Amo 3:8-15
and wisdom fears your name—
“Listen to the rod,
and he who appointed it.
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, Amo 3:10Amo 8:5-6Jer 5:26-27Pro 20:10Pro 21:62Ki 5:23-24Deu 25:13-16Ezk 45:9-12
and a short ephah 1 that is accursed?
Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, Hos 12:7Lev 19:36Pro 16:11
and a bag of deceitful weights?
Her rich men are full of violence, Hos 7:13Isa 1:23Jer 9:8Isa 3:8Isa 5:7Jer 9:2-6Mic 2:1-2Rom 3:13
her inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. Psa 107:17-18Act 12:23Deu 28:21-22Hos 13:16Lev 26:16Hos 5:9Isa 1:5-7Isa 6:11
I have made you desolate because of your sins.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Hos 4:10Isa 65:13Lev 26:26Amo 2:14-16Ezk 4:16-17Ezk 5:12Hag 1:6Hag 2:16
Your hunger will be within you.
You will store up, but not save,
and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
You will sow, but won’t reap. Zep 1:13Amo 5:11Jer 12:13Deu 28:38-40Hag 1:6Isa 62:8-9Lev 26:20Isa 65:21-22
You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil;
and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, Jer 51:511Ki 16:25-33Isa 25:8Jer 7:24Psa 44:131Ki 21:25-26Jer 19:81Ki 18:4
and all the works of Ahab’s house.
You walk in their counsels,
that I may make you a ruin,
and your inhabitants a hissing.
You will bear the reproach of my people.”
