弥迦书6章中

¹Listen to what the Lord is saying:“Stand up and state your case against me.Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints. ²And now, O mountains, listen to the Lord’s complaint!He has a case against his people.He will bring charges against Israel. ³“O my people, what have I done to you?What have I done to make you tired of me?Answer me! ⁴For I brought you out of Egyptand redeemed you from slavery.I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you. ⁵Don’t you remember, my people, how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursedand how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?And remember your journey from Acacia Grove#6:5 Hebrew Shittim. to Gilgal, when I, the Lord, did everything I couldto teach you about my faithfulness.” ⁶What can we bring to the Lord?Should we bring him burnt offerings?Should we bow before God Most Highwith offerings of yearling calves? ⁷Should we offer him thousands of ramsand ten thousand rivers of olive oil?Should we sacrifice our firstborn childrento pay for our sins? ⁹Fear the Lord if you are wise!His voice calls to everyone in Jerusalem:“The armies of destruction are coming;the Lord is sending them.#6:9 Hebrew “Listen to the rod. / Who appointed it?” ¹⁰What shall I say about the homes of the wickedfilled with treasures gained by cheating?What about the disgusting practiceof measuring out grain with dishonest measures?#6:10 Hebrew of using the short ephah? The ephah was a unit for measuring grain. ¹¹How can I tolerate your merchantswho use dishonest scales and weights? ¹²The rich among you have become wealthythrough extortion and violence.Your citizens are so used to lyingthat their tongues can no longer tell the truth. ¹³“Therefore, I will wound you!I will bring you to ruin for all your sins. ¹⁴You will eat but never have enough.Your hunger pangs and emptiness will remain.And though you try to save your money, it will come to nothing in the end.You will save a little, but I will give it to those who conquer you. ¹⁵You will plant cropsbut not harvest them.You will press your olivesbut not get enough oil to anoint yourselves.You will trample the grapesbut get no juice to make your wine. ¹⁶You keep only the laws of evil King Omri;you follow only the example of wicked King Ahab!Therefore, I will make an example of you, bringing you to complete ruin.You will be treated with contempt, mocked by all who see you.”
