God’s Word
For Everyday Life

Listen now to what the LORD says:

Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment,

My people, what have I done to you?

For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised,

How shall I come before the LORD,

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams?

He has shown you, O man, what is good.

The LORD’s voice calls to the city—

Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,

Shall I tolerate dishonest scales,

Her rich men are full of violence,

Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound.

You shall eat, but not be satisfied.

You will sow, but won’t reap.

For the statutes of Omri are kept,
