pouncing and tearing as they go
with no rescuer in sight.
The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,
and all their enemies will be wiped out.
“In that day,” says the LORD,
“I will slaughter your horses
and destroy your chariots.
I will tear down your walls
and demolish your defenses.
I will put an end to all witchcraft,
and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
I will destroy all your idols and sacred pillars,
so you will never again worship the work of your own hands.
I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles
and destroy your pagan cities.
I will pour out my vengeance
on all the nations that refuse to obey me.”

“Stand up and state your case against me.
Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.
And now, O mountains,
listen to the LORD’s complaint!
He has a case against his people.
He will bring charges against Israel.
“O my people, what have I done to you?
What have I done to make you tired of me?
Answer me!
For I brought you out of Egypt
and redeemed you from slavery.
I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
Don’t you remember, my people,
how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed
and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?
And remember your journey from Acacia Grove* to Gilgal,
when I, the LORD, did everything I could
to teach you about my faithfulness.”
What can we bring to the LORD?
Should we bring him burnt offerings?
Should we bow before God Most High
with offerings of yearling calves?
6:5 Hebrew Shittim.
