4 Hear the word of the Lord,^(A) people of Israel,
for the Lord has a case^(B)
against the inhabitants of the land:
There is no truth,^(C) no faithful love,^(D)
and no knowledge of God^(E) in the land!

³ In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel,^(A)
and as an adult he wrestled with God.^(B)

² Listen to the Lord’s lawsuit,^(A)
you mountains and enduring foundations of the earth,^(B)
because the Lord has a case against His people,^(C)
and He will argue it against Israel.
