CHAP. VI.
An exhortation to the dumme creatures to heare the iudgem&ebar;t
against Israel being vnkinde. 6 What maner of sacrifices
doe please God.
1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise
thou, and contende before the note mountaines,
and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
2 Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel,
and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for
the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he
will pleade with Israel.
3 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee?
or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
4 Surely I note brought thee vp out of the land
of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of
seruants, & I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron,
and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember nowe what Balak
King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the
sonne of Beor answered him, from note Shittim vnto
Gilgal, that ye may knowe the note righteousnes
of the Lorde.
6 Wherewith note shall I come before the Lord,
and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I
come before him with burnt offrings, and with
calues of a yeere olde?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of
rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I
giue my note first borne for my transgression, euen
the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good,
and what the Lord requireth of thee: note surely to
doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy
selfe, to walke with thy God.
9 The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the note citie,
and the man of wisedome shall see thy name:
Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
10 Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the
house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that
is abominable?
-- --
Perillous times.
11 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and
the bag of deceitfull weightes?
12 For the rich men note thereof are full of crueltie,
& the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes,
and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in
smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because
of thy sinnes.
14 Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and
note thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee,
and thou note shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer:
and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to
the sworde.
15 Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt
treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee
with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not
drinke wine.
16 For the note statutes of Omri are kept, & all
the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in
their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and
the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye
shall beare the reproche of my people.
