Juicio de Dios contra su pueblo

Oíd ahora lo que dice el SEÑOR:Levántate, litiga con los montes,y oigan las colinas tu voz.2 Oíd, montes, la acusación¹ del SEÑOR,y vosotros, perdurables cimientos de la tierra^a,porque el SEÑOR tiene litigio contra su pueblo,y con Israel entablará juicio^b.3 Pueblo mío^a, ¿qué te he hecho^b,o en qué te he molestado? ¡Respóndeme^c!4 Pues yo te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto^a,y de la casa de servidumbre¹ te redimí^b,y envié delante de ti a Moisés^c, a Aarón y a Miriam^d.5 Pueblo mío, acuérdate ahorade lo que maquinó Balac, rey de Moab,y de lo que le respondió Balaam, hijo de Beor^a,desde Sitim^b hasta Gilgal^c,para que conozcas¹ las justicias del SEÑOR^d.

La injusticia y su castigo

6 ¿Con qué me presentaré al SEÑOR^ay me postraré ante el Dios de lo alto?¿Me presentaré delante de Él con holocaustos^b,con becerros de un año?7 ¿Se agrada el SEÑOR de millares de carneros^a,de miríadas de ríos de aceite?¿Ofreceré¹ mi primogénito por mi rebeldía^b,el fruto de mis entrañas por el pecado de mi alma?8 Él te ha declarado^a, oh hombre, lo que es bueno.¿Y qué es lo que demanda el SEÑOR de ti^b,sinosolo practicar la justicia¹^c, amar la misericordia²^d,y andar humildemente con tu Dios^e?

9 La voz del SEÑOR clamará a la ciudad(prudente es temer tu nombre):Oíd, oh tribu, ¿quién ha señalado su tiempo¹?10 ¿Hay todavía alguien en casa del impíocon tesoros de impiedad^ay medida¹ escasa^b que es maldita?11 ¿Puedo justificar balanzas falsas¹^ay bolsa de pesas engañosas?12 Porque los¹ ricos de la ciudad están llenos de violencia^a,sus habitantes hablan mentiras^by su lengua es engañosa en su boca^c.13 Por eso yo también te haré enfermar^a, hiriéndote,asolándote^b por tus pecados.14 Tú comerás, pero no te saciarás^a,y tu vileza¹ estará en medio de ti.Apartarás, pero nada salvarás^b,y lo que salves, yo lo entregaré a la espada.15 Sembrarás, pero no segarás^a;pisarás la oliva, pero no te ungirás con aceite,y la uva, pero no beberás vino^b.16 Han sido guardados los estatutos de Omri^ay todas las obras de la casa de Acab^b,y andas en sus consejos^c.Por tanto te entregaré a la destrucción^d,y a tus¹ habitantes para burla^e,y soportaréis el oprobio de mi pueblo^f.

God’s Indictment of His People

Hear now what the LORD is saying,“Arise, plead your case ¹before the mountains,And let the hills hear your voice.2 “Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD,And you enduring ^afoundations of the earth,Because the ^bLORD has a case against His people;Even with Israel He will dispute.3 “^aMy people, ^bwhat have I done to you,And ^chow have I wearied you? Answer Me.4 “Indeed, I ^abrought you up from the land of EgyptAnd ^bransomed you from the house of slavery,And I sent before you ^cMoses, Aaron and ^dMiriam.5 “My people, remember nowWhat ^aBalak king of Moab counseledAnd what Balaam son of Beor answered him,And from ^bShittim to ^cGilgal,So ¹that you might know the ^drighteous acts of the LORD.”

What God Requires of Man

6 ^aWith what shall I come to the LORDAnd bow myself before the God on high?Shall I come to Him with ^bburnt offerings,With yearling calves?7 Does the LORD take delight in ^athousands of rams,In ten thousand rivers of oil?Shall I present my ^bfirstborn for my rebellious acts,The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?8 He has ^atold you, O man, what is good;And ^bwhat does the LORD require of youBut to ^cdo justice, to ^dlove ¹kindness,And to walk ²^ehumbly with your God?

9 The voice of the LORD will call to the city—And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:“Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed ¹its time?10 “Is there yet a man in the wicked house,Along with treasures of ^awickednessAnd a ¹^bshort measure that is cursed?11 “Can I justify wicked ^ascalesAnd a bag of deceptive weights?12 “For the rich men of the ¹city are full of ^aviolence,Her residents speak ^blies,And their ^ctongue is deceitful in their mouth.13 “So also I will make you ^asick, striking you down,^bDesolating you because of your sins.14 “You will eat, but you will ^anot be satisfied,And your ¹vileness will be in your midst.You will try to remove for safekeeping,But you will ^bnot preserve anything,And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.15 “You will sow but you will ^anot reap.You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;And the grapes, but you will ^bnot drink wine.16 “The statutes of ^aOmriAnd all the works of the house of ^bAhab are observed;And in their devices you ^cwalk.Therefore I will give you up for ^ddestructionAnd ¹your inhabitants for ^ederision,And you will bear the ^freproach of My people.”

What God Requires of Mankind

6 ^aWith what shall I come to the LORDAnd bow myself before the God on high?Shall I come to Him with ^bburnt offerings,With yearling calves?7 Does the LORD take pleasure in ^athousands of rams,In ten thousand rivers of ¹oil?Shall I give Him my ^bfirstborn for my wrongdoings,The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?8 He has ^atold you, mortal one, what is good;And ^bwhat does the LORD require of youBut to ^cdo justice, to ^dlove ¹kindness,And to walk ²^ehumbly with your God?

9 The voice of the LORD will call to the city—And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:“¹Hear, you tribe.
