Micah 6

1 God's controversy for unkindness, 6 for ignorance, 10 for injustice, 16 and for idolatry.

 6:1 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 ye now x4994 x853 what x834 the LORD 3068 saith; 559 z8802 Arise, 6965 z8798 contend 7378 z8798 thou before x854 the mountains, 2022 and let the hills 1389 hear 8085 z8799 thy voice. 6963

 6:2 Hear 8085 z8798 ye, O mountains, 2022 x853 the LORD'S 3068 controversy, 7379 and ye strong 386 foundations 4146 of the earth: 776 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath a controversy 7379 with x5973 his people, 5971 and he will plead 3198 z8691 with x5973 Israel. 3478

 6:3 O my people, 5971 what x4100 have I done 6213 z8804 unto thee? and wherein x4100 have I wearied 3811 z8689 thee? testify 6030 z8798 against me.

 6:4 For x3588 I brought thee up 5927 z8689 out of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 and redeemed 6299 z8804 thee out of the house 1004 x4480 of servants; 5650 and I sent 7971 z8799 before 6440 thee x853 Moses, 4872 Aaron, 175 and Miriam. 4813

 6:5 O my people, 5971 remember 2142 z8798 now x4994 what x4100 Balak 1111 king 4428 of Moab 4124 consulted, 3289 z8804 and what x4100 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 answered 6030 z8804 him from x4480 Shittim 7851 unto x5704 Gilgal; 1537 that x4616 ye may know 3045 z8800 the righteousness 6666 of the LORD. 3068

 6:6 ¶ Wherewith x4100 shall I come before 6923 z8762 the LORD, 3068 [and] bow y3721 z8735 myself x3721 before the high 4791 God? 430 shall I come before 6923 z8762 him with burnt offerings, 5930 with calves 5695 of a year 8141 old? 1121

 6:7 Will the LORD 3068 be pleased 7521 z8799 with thousands 505 of rams, 352 [or] with ten thousands 7233 of rivers 5158 of oil? 8081 shall I give 5414 z8799 my firstborn 1060 [for] my transgression, 6588 the fruit 6529 of my body 990 [for] the sin 2403 of my soul? 5315

 6:8 He hath shewed 5046 z8689 thee, O man, 120 what x4100 [is] good; 2896 and what x4100 doth the LORD 3068 require 1875 z8802 of x4480 thee, but x3588 x518 to do 6213 z8800 justly, 4941 and to love y160 x157 mercy, 2617 and to walk y3212 z8800 x1980 humbly 6800 z8687 with x5973 thy God? 430

 6:9 The LORD'S 3068 voice 6963 crieth 7121 z8799 unto the city, 5892 and [the man of] wisdom 8454 shall see 7200 z8799 thy name: 8034 hear 8085 z8798 ye the rod, 4294 and who x4310 hath appointed 3259 z8804 it.

 6:10 ¶ Are there 786 yet x5750 the treasures 214 of wickedness 7562 z8676 y376 in the house 1004 of the wicked, 7563 and the scant 7332 measure 374 [that is] abominable? 2194 z8803

 6:11 Shall I count [them] pure 2135 z8799 with the wicked 7562 balances, 3976 and with the bag 3599 of deceitful 4820 weights? 68

 6:12 For x834 the rich men 6223 thereof are full 4390 z8804 of violence, 2555 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 thereof have spoken 1696 z8765 lies, 8267 and their tongue 3956 [is] deceitful 7423 in their mouth. 6310

 6:13 Therefore also x1571 will I x589 make [thee] sick 2470 z8689 in smiting 5221 z8687 thee, in making [thee] desolate 8074 z8687 because of x5921 thy sins. 2403

 6:14 Thou x859 shalt eat, 398 z8799 but not x3808 be satisfied; 7646 z8799 and thy casting down 3445 [shall be] in the midst 7130 of thee; and thou shalt take hold, 5253 z8686 but shalt not x3808 deliver; 6403 z8686 and [that] which x834 thou deliverest 6403 z8762 will I give up 5414 z8799 to the sword. 2719

 6:15 Thou x859 shalt sow, 2232 z8799 but thou shalt not x3808 reap; 7114 z8799 thou x859 shalt tread 1869 z8799 the olives, 2132 but thou shalt not x3808 anoint 5480 z8799 thee with oil; 8081 and sweet wine, 8492 but shalt not x3808 drink 8354 z8799 wine. 3196

 6:16 ¶ For the statutes 2708 of Omri 6018 are kept, 8104 z8691 and all x3605 the works 4639 of the house 1004 of Ahab, 256 and ye walk y3212 z8799 x1980 in their counsels; 4156 that x4616 I should make 5414 z8800 thee a desolation, 8047 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 thereof an hissing: 8322 therefore ye shall bear 5375 z8799 the reproach 2781 of my people. 5971
