--
strive
thou with
the mountains, And cause

the hills to
hear thy voice. '

what
the
LORD
saith;
Arise
, contend
thou before
the mountains, and let
the hills hear thy voice.
Hear, O mountains, the strife

Jehovah,

order
to
know the righteous
acts
of Jehovah
. '

what
do
I come before Jehovah?

offerings ?
With calves --
sons
of a year?
Wherewith
shall
I come before the
LORD,
and
bow myself
before
the
high God

Jehovah
pleased with thousands of rams ?
With myriads
of streams

my transgression ?
The fruit of my body `
for '
the sin of my soul?
Will
the
LORD
be
pleased with thousands of rams ,

thee, O man, what is good; and
what doth
the
LORD
require
of thee, but

, and to
love mercy
, and to walk humbly
with thy God?

the city, and the
man
of
wisdom shall

in '
the house of the wicked Treasures
of
wickedness
, And the abhorred
scanty
ephah
?

treasures
of
wickedness

bag of deceitful stones
?

I count
them
pure with the
wicked
balances ,
and with the
bag of deceitful weights
