33:006:005 O 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.
33:006:006 Wherewith 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?
33:006:007 Will 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?
33:006:008 He 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?
33:006:009 The 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.
33:006:010 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
in the house of the
wicked,
and the scant measure that is abominable?
33:006:011 Shall I count them pure with the wicked
balances, and with the
bag
of deceitful weights?
33:006:012 For the rich men thereof are full of violence,
and the
inhabitants
thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is
deceitful
in their mouth.
33:006:013 Therefore also will I make thee sick in
smiting thee, in
making
thee desolate because of thy sins.
33:006:014 Thou 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.
33:006:015 Thou 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.
33:006:016 For 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.
33:007:001 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered
the summer
fruits,
as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is
no
cluster
to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
33:007:002 The good man is perished out of the earth:
and there is none
upright
among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they
hunt
every
man his brother with a net.
33:007:003 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,
the prince
asketh,
and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man,
he
uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap
it up.
