Micah 6 – Studienbibel

1 Hear8085 ye now what the LORD3068 saith559; Arise6965, contend7378 thou before the mountains2022, and let the hills1389 hear8085 thy voice6963.¹ 2 Hear8085 ye, O mountains2022, the LORD'S3068 controversy7379, and ye strong386 foundations4146 of the earth776: for the LORD3068 hath a controversy7379 with his people5971, and he will plead3198 with Israel3478. 3 O my people5971, what have I done6213 unto thee? and wherein have I wearied3811 thee? testify6030 against me. 4 For I brought thee up5927 out of the land776 of Egypt4714, and redeemed6299 thee out of the house1004 of servants5650; and I sent7971 before6440 thee Moses4872, Aaron175, and Miriam4813. 5 O my people5971, remember2142 now what Balak1111 king4428 of Moab4124 consulted3289, and what Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 answered6030 him from Shittim7851 unto Gilgal1537; that ye may know3045 the righteousness6666 of the LORD3068.

6 Wherewith shall I come before6923 the LORD3068, and bow3721 myself before the high4791 God430? shall I come before6923 him with burnt offerings5930, with calves5695 of a year8141 old1121?² 7 Will the LORD3068 be pleased7521 with thousands505 of rams352, or with ten thousands7233 of rivers5158 of oil8081? shall I give5414 my firstborn1060 for my transgression6588, the fruit6529 of my body990 for the sin2403 of my soul5315?³ 8 He hath shewed5046 thee, O man120, what is good2896; and what doth the LORD3068 require1875 of thee, but to do6213 justly4941, and to love160 mercy2617, and to walk3212 humbly6800 with thy God430?⁴

9 The LORD'S3068 voice6963 crieth7121 unto the city5892, and the man of wisdom8454 shall see7200 thy name8034: hear8085 ye the rod4294, and who hath appointed3259 it.⁵ 10 Are there786 yet the treasures214 of wickedness7562 376 in the house1004 of the wicked7563, and the scant7332 measure374 that is abominable2194?⁶⁷ 11 Shall I count them pure2135 with the wicked7562 balances3976, and with the bag3599 of deceitful4820 weights68?⁸ 12 For the rich men6223 thereof are full4390 of violence2555, and the inhabitants3427 thereof have spoken1696 lies8267, and their tongue3956 is deceitful7423 in their mouth6310. 13 Therefore also will I make thee sick2470 in smiting5221 thee, in making thee desolate8074 because of thy sins2403. 14 Thou shalt eat398, but not be satisfied7646; and thy casting down3445 shall be in the midst7130 of thee; and thou shalt take hold5253, but shalt not deliver6403; and that which thou deliverest6403 will I give up5414 to the sword2719. 15 Thou shalt sow2232, but thou shalt not reap7114; thou shalt tread1869 the olives2132, but thou shalt not anoint5480 thee with oil8081; and sweet wine8492, but shalt not drink8354 wine3196. 16 For the statutes2708 of Omri6018 are kept8104, and all the works4639 of the house1004 of Ahab256, and ye walk3212 in their counsels4156; that I should make5414 thee a desolation8047, and the inhabitants3427 thereof an hissing8322: therefore ye shall bear5375 the reproach2781 of my people5971.⁹¹⁰
