Controversia del Señor contra Israel
6 Escuchen ahora lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Levántate y contiende contra los montes! ¡Que oigan tu voz las colinas!»
2 Ustedes los montes, y ustedes, los sólidos cimientos de la tierra, escuchen la querella del Señor. Porque el Señor tiene una querella contra su pueblo, y va a altercar contra Israel:
3 «Pueblo mío, ¿qué te he hecho? ¿En qué te he molestado? ¡Respóndeme! 4 Es un hecho que yo te saqué de la tierra de Egipto;(A) que te libré de la casa de servidumbre, y que delante de ti envié a Moisés, a Aarón(B) y a María.(C) 5 Acuérdate ahora, pueblo mío, de los planes que urdía Balac, rey de Moab, y de cómo respondió Balaam hijo de Beor.(D) Yo los traje desde Sitín hasta Gilgal,(E) para que reconozcan cuántas veces yo, el Señor, los he salvado.»
Lo que pide el Señor
6 Tú, Israel, preguntas:
«¿Con qué me presentaré ante el Señor? ¿Cómo adoraré al Dios Altísimo? ¿Debo presentarme ante él con holocaustos, o con becerros de un año? 7 ¿Le agradará al Señor recibir millares de carneros, o diez mil ríos de aceite? ¿Debo darle mi primogénito a cambio de mi rebelión? ¿Le daré el fruto de mis entrañas por los pecados que he cometido?»
8 ¡Hombre! El Señor te ha dado a conocer lo que es bueno, y lo que él espera de ti, y que no es otra cosa que hacer justicia, amar la misericordia, y humillarte ante tu Dios.
9 La voz del Señor clama a la ciudad. Es de sabios temer a su nombre. Presten ustedes atención al castigo y a quien lo establece:
10 «El impío aún tiene en su casa riquezas mal habidas, y esas odiosas medidas falsas. 11 ¿Y voy a tener por inocente al que tiene balanzas falsas y pesas engañosas? 12 Tu gente rica, Jerusalén, se ha saturado de rapiña; tus habitantes mienten; su lengua y sus labios son engañosos. 13 Por eso yo también te herí, te debilité, te asolé por tus pecados. 14 Por eso comerás, y no te saciarás, y en tus calles habrá una profunda tristeza. Cosecharás, pero no almacenarás, y lo que almacenes lo entregaré como botín de guerra. 15 Sembrarás, pero no cosecharás; pisarás aceitunas, pero no te ungirás con ese aceite; exprimirás las uvas, pero no beberás el vino. 16 Y es que tú has obedecido los mandamientos de Omri(F) y todas las acciones de la casa de Ajab;(G) has seguido los consejos de ellos. Por eso voy a castigarte y a poner en vergüenza a tus habitantes. Por lo tanto, tendrán que cargar con el oprobio de mi pueblo.»

God’s Indictment of His People
6 Hear now what the Lord is saying,
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills [as witnesses] hear your voice.
2
“Hear, O mountains, the indictment of the Lord,
And you enduring foundations of the earth,
For the Lord has a case (a legal complaint) against His people,
And He will dispute (challenge) Israel.
3
“O My people, what have I done to you [since you have turned away from Me]?
And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.
4
“For I brought you up from the land of Egypt
And ransomed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you Moses [to lead you], Aaron [the high priest], and Miriam [the prophetess].
5
“My people, remember now
What Balak king of Moab devised [with his evil plan against Israel]
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him [turning the curse into blessing for Israel],
[Remember what the Lord did for you] from [a]Shittim to Gilgal,
So that you may know the righteous and saving acts [displaying the power] of the Lord.”(A)
What God Requires of Man
6
With what shall I come before the Lord [to honor Him]
And bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7
Will the Lord be delighted with thousands of rams,
Or with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my firstborn for my acts of rebellion,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8
He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
Except to be just, and to love [and to diligently practice] kindness (compassion),
And to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]?(B)
9
The voice of the Lord shall call to the city [of Jerusalem]—
And it is sound wisdom to heed [solemnly] and fear Your name [with awe-filled reverence];
“Hear, O tribe [the rod of punishment]. Who has appointed its time?
10
“Are there not still treasures gained by wickedness
In the house of the wicked,
And a short (inaccurate) measure [for grain] that is cursed?(C)
11
“Can I [be guiltless and] justify deceptive scales
And a bag of dishonest weights?(D)
12
“For the rich men of the city are full of violence [of every kind];
Her inhabitants speak lies
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13
“So also I will make you sick, striking you down,
Desolating and devastating you, because of your sins.
14
“You shall eat, but you will not be satisfied,
And your [b]emptiness shall be among you;
You will [try to] remove [your goods and those you love] for safekeeping
But you will fail to save anything,
And what you do save I shall give to the sword.
15
“You shall sow but you shall not reap;
You shall tread olives, but shall not anoint yourself with oil,
And [you will extract juice from] the grapes, but you shall not drink the wine.
16
“For [you have kept] the statutes of Omri [the idolatrous king],
And all the works of the [wicked] house (dynasty) of Ahab;
And you walk in their counsels and policies.
Therefore, I shall hand you over for destruction and horror
And your [city’s] inhabitants for ridicule,
And you shall bear the rebuke and scorn of My people.”
Footnotes
- Micah 6:5 God reminds His people of His gracious acts in their behalf—how Balak tried to oppose Israel through pagan rites, sending for Balaam to put a curse on the Israelites; how God saved Israel by causing Balaam to bless instead of curse them; and how God later led them across the Jordan River into the promised land, from Shittim (Josh 3:1) to Gilgal (Josh 4:19).
- Micah 6:14 Or possibly garbage or vileness.

The Lord’s Case Against Israel
6 Listen to what the Lord says:
“Stand up, plead my case before the mountains;(A)
let the hills hear what you have to say.
2 “Hear,(B) you mountains, the Lord’s accusation;(C)
listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth.
For the Lord has a case(D) against his people;
he is lodging a charge(E) against Israel.
3 “My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened(F) you?(G) Answer me.
4 I brought you up out of Egypt(H)
and redeemed you from the land of slavery.(I)
I sent Moses(J) to lead you,
also Aaron(K) and Miriam.(L)
5 My people, remember
what Balak(M) king of Moab plotted
and what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember your journey from Shittim(N) to Gilgal,(O)
that you may know the righteous acts(P) of the Lord.”
6 With what shall I come before(Q) the Lord
and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?(R)
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,(S)
with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?(T)
Shall I offer my firstborn(U) for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?(V)
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly(W) and to love mercy
and to walk humbly[a](X) with your God.(Y)
Israel’s Guilt and Punishment
9 Listen! The Lord is calling to the city—
and to fear your name is wisdom—
“Heed the rod(Z) and the One who appointed it.[b]
10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short ephah,[c] which is accursed?(AA)
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,(AB)
with a bag of false weights?(AC)
12 Your rich people are violent;(AD)
your inhabitants are liars(AE)
and their tongues speak deceitfully.(AF)
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy(AG) you,
to ruin[d] you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;(AH)
your stomach will still be empty.[e]
You will store up but save nothing,(AI)
because what you save[f] I will give to the sword.
15 You will plant but not harvest;(AJ)
you will press olives but not use the oil,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.(AK)
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri(AL)
and all the practices of Ahab’s(AM) house;
you have followed their traditions.(AN)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin(AO)
and your people to derision;
you will bear the scorn(AP) of the nations.[g]”
