1以色列人哪，當聽耶和華的話！要起來向山嶺爭辯，使岡陵聽你的話。Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2山嶺和地永久的根基啊，要聽耶和華爭辯的話！因為耶和華要與他的百姓爭辯，與以色列爭論。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:
3我的百姓啊，我向你做了甚麼呢？我在甚麼事上使你厭煩？你可以對我證明。‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
4我曾將你從埃及地領出來，從作奴僕之家救贖你；我也差遣摩西、亞倫，和在你前面行。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.
5我的百姓啊，你們當追念摩押王巴勒所設的謀和比珥的兒子回答他的話，並你們從到吉甲所遇見的事，好使你們知道耶和華公義的作為。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.’”
6我朝見耶和華，在至高 神面前跪拜，當獻上甚麼呢？豈可獻一歲的牛犢為燔祭嗎？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?
7耶和華豈喜悅千千的公羊，或是萬萬的嗎？我豈可為自己的罪過獻我的嗎？為心中的罪惡獻我身所生的嗎？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?
8世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你行公義，，，與你的 神同行。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?
9耶和華向這城呼叫，智慧人必敬畏他的名。你們當聽是誰派定刑杖的懲罰。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.
10惡人家中不仍有非義之財和可惡的嗎？Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
11我若用不公道的天平和囊中詭詐的，豈可算為清潔呢？Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
12城裡的富戶滿行強暴；其中的居民也說謊言，口中的舌頭是詭詐的。For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
13因此，我擊打你，使你的傷痕甚重，使你因你的罪惡荒涼。Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
14你要吃，卻吃不飽；你的虛弱必顯在你中間。你必挪去，卻不得救護；所救護的，我必交給刀劍。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.
15你必撒種，卻不得收割；踹橄欖，卻不得油抹身；踹葡萄，卻不得酒喝。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.
16因為你守的惡規，行亞哈家一切所行的，順從他們的計謀；因此，我必使你荒涼，使你的居民令人，你們也必擔當我民的羞辱。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.”
