Hear all of you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend you before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Hear O mountains [the] case of Yahweh and O enduring [ones] [the] foundations of [the] earth for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with people his and with Israel he will argue.
Hear all of you, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and all of you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O people my what? have I done to you and what? have I made weary you testify against me.
O my people, what have I done unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 For I brought up you from [the] land of Egypt and from a house of slaves I ransomed you and I sent before you Moses Aaron and Miriam.
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O people my remember please what? did he plan Balak [the] king of Moab and what? did he answer him Balaam [the] son of Beor from Shittim to Gilgal so as to know [the] righteousness of Yahweh.
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 all of you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 With what? will I come to meet Yahweh will I bend myself down? to [the] God of height ¿ will I come to meet him with burnt offerings with calves sons of a year.
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?
7 ¿ Will he take pleasure Yahweh in thousands of rams in tens of thousands of torrents of oil ¿ will I give firstborn my transgression my [the] fruit of belly my [the] sin of self my.
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?
8 He has told to you O humankind what? [is] good and what? [is] Yahweh requiring from you that except to do justice and to love covenant loyalty and to be modest to walk with God your.
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

The LORD's voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name: hear all of you the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Still ¿ [are] there house of [the] wicked treasures of wickedness and an ephah of scantness accursed.
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 ¿ Will I be clear with balances of wickedness and with a bag of weights of deceit.
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Which rich [people] its they are full violence and inhabitants its they speak falsehood and tongue their [is] deceit in mouth their.
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You you will eat and not you will be satisfied and emptiness your [will be] in midst your and you will carry away and not you will bring to safety and [that] which you will bring to safety to the sword I will give.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in the midst of you; and you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver will I give up to the sword.
15 You you will sow and not you will reap you you will tread olive[s] and not you will anoint yourself oil and new wine and not you will drink wine.
You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 So may be kept [the] statutes of Omri and every deed of [the] house of Ahab and you have walked in schemes their so as to make I you into a horror and inhabitants its into hissing and [the] reproach of people my you will bear.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and all of you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore all of you shall bear the reproach of my people.
