¹³ The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

4 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

5 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

² The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

² Hear 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.

³³ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
