YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Hear now
what
the
LORD
says:
“Arise
, plead
your
case
before
the mountains, and let
the hills hear your
voice.
Hear, I
pray
you,
that
which
Jehovah
is
saying:
`Rise
--
strive
thou
with
the mountains, And cause
thou
the hills to
hear thy
voice. '
Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s
indictment
, you
enduring
foundations of the
earth .
For the
LORD
has
a case
against
His people, and He
will
argue
it
against
Israel :
Hear, O mountains, the strife
of
Jehovah
, Ye
strong
ones
--
foundations of earth !
For a strife
`is'
to
Jehovah,
with
His people, And with
Israel He
doth
reason.
‘
My people, what have I done to you
? Testify against Me how
I
have
wearied
you!
O
My people, what have I done to thee
? And
what
--
have
I
wearied
thee?
Testify against Me .
For I brought you
up from the land of Egypt and redeemed
you
from the house of slavery.
I sent
Moses
before you
, as
well
as
Aaron and Miriam.
For I brought thee
up from the land of Egypt ,
And from the house of servants
I have
ransomed
thee,
And
I
send
before thee
Moses
, Aaron ,
and Miriam.
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled
and
what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember
your
journey
from Shittim to
Gilgal, so
that
you
may
acknowledge
the righteousness
of the
LORD
. ’”
O
My people, remember ,
I
pray
you,
What counsel
did
Balak king of Moab ,
What answer
him
did
Balaam son of Beor ,
(
From Shittim unto
Gilgal, )
In
order
to
know
the righteous
acts
of Jehovah
. '
With what shall
I come before the
LORD
when
I bow before
the
God on
high? Should
I come to
Him with burnt offerings ,
with year-old
calves?
With what do
I come before Jehovah?
Do
I bow to
God Most
High? Do
I come before
Him with burnt -
offerings ?
With calves --
sons
of
a
year
?
Would
the
LORD
be
pleased with thousands of rams ,
with ten
thousand
rivers
of oil? Shall
I present
my firstborn
for my transgression ,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Is
Jehovah
pleased with thousands of rams ?
With myriads
of streams
of
oil? Do
I give
my first-born
`
for '
my transgression ?
The fruit of my body `
for '
the sin of my soul?
He has
shown
you
, O man, what is good .
And
what does
the
LORD
require
of you
but
to
act
justly
, to love mercy
, and to walk humbly
with your
God?
He hath
declared
to
thee
, O man, what `
is '
good ;
Yea,
what is
Jehovah
requiring
of thee
, Except
--
to do
judgment,
and
love kindness
, And lowly
to walk with thy
God?
The
voice of the
LORD
calls
out
to the city (
and it
is
sound
wisdom to
fear Your
name ):
“Heed
the rod and the
One
who ordained
it.
A
voice of Jehovah
to the city calleth,
And wisdom doth
fear Thy
name ,
Hear
ye
the rod ,
and Him
who appointed
it.
Can
I
forget
any
longer,
O
house of the wicked ,
the
treasures of wickedness and the short
ephah ,
which
is
accursed
?
Are
there
yet
`in'
the
house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness ,
And the abhorred
scanty
ephah?
Can
I excuse
dishonest
scales
or
bags
of false
weights
?
Do
I reckon
`it'
pure
with
balances
of wickedness
? And
with
a
bag
of
deceitful
stones?
For
the
wealthy
of
the
city
are
full of violence, and its residents
speak
lies;
their tongues
are
deceitful in their mouths
.
Whose
rich
ones
have
been
full of violence, And its inhabitants
have
spoken
falsehood,
And
their tongue
`is'
deceitful in their mouth
.
Therefore
I am
striking
you
severely
, to ruin
you
because of your
sins.
And
I also
, I
have
begun
to smite
thee,
To
make
desolate,
because of thy
sins.
You
will
eat
but
not be
satisfied, and your
hunger
will
remain
with
you.
What
you
acquire
, you
will
not preserve;
and what
you
save
, I
will
give
to the
sword.
Thou
--
thou
eatest,
and
thou
art
not satisfied, And thy
pit
`is'
in
thy
midst
, And
thou
removest,
and
dost
not deliver,
And that
which
thou
deliverest
, to a
sword I
give
.
You
will
sow
but
not reap ;
you
will
press
olives
but
not anoint
yourselves
with
oil ;
you
will
tread
grapes
but
not drink
the
wine.
Thou
--
thou
sowest,
and
thou
dost
not reap ,
Thou
--
thou
treadest
the
olive,
And
thou
pourest
not out
oil ,
And
new
wine
--
and
thou
drinkest
not wine.
You
have
kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices
of Ahab’s
house ;
you
have
followed
their counsel.
Therefore
I
will
make
you
a desolation, and your
inhabitants an
object
of
contempt;
you
will
bear
the scorn
of the
nations.”
And
kept habitually
are
the statutes of Omri ,
And all the work
of the
house of
Ahab,
And
ye
do
walk
in
their counsels,
For
My
giving
thee
for
a desolation, And its
inhabitants for
a
hissing,
And
the reproach
of My
people
ye
do
bear!
