1Yo, listen up! The Lord's like, "Get up and pop off in front of the mountains, let the hills catch your vibes."

2Ayo mountains, peep the Lord’s drama, and you solid foundations of the earth: God’s got beef with His people, and He’s gonna plead with Israel.

3My peeps, what’s the deal? What did I do to tire you out? Spill the tea against me.

4I pulled you outta Egypt, freed you from being servants; I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to vibe with you.

5Yo, my people, remember what Balak, the king of Moab, was on about and what Balaam said from Shittim to Gilgal; that you know the Lord’s rizz.

6How should I roll up to the Lord? Should I bow down with burnt offerings or calves that are just a year old?

7Is the Lord gonna be hyped with thousands of rams or tons of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my mess-ups, the fruit of my body for my soul’s sins?

8He showed you, fam, what’s good; the Lord just wants you to keep it real, love mercy, and walk humble with your God.

9The Lord’s voice is calling to the city, and wise peeps will see your name: listen to the rod and who set it up.

10Are there still treasures of wickedness in the wicked's crib, and that sus measure that’s straight-up gross?

11Should I call them pure with wicked scales and a bag of shady weights?

12The rich are all about violence, and the people are spitting lies, their tongues are sus.

13So I’m gonna make you sick for your sins, leaving you all desolate.

14You’ll eat but won’t be satisfied; you’ll feel down, and whatever you grab won’t help; what you do get, I’ll give to the sword.

15You’ll plant, but won’t harvest; you’ll tread olives, but won’t get that oil; you’ll have sweet wine, but won’t sip.

16For the laws of Omri are still a thing, and you’re walking in Ahab's vibes; I’ll make you a desolation, and the people will hiss at you: you’ll carry the shame of my people.

1Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

2Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord’s controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

3O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

4For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord.

6Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

9The Lord’s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

10Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

11Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

12For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

14Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

15Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
