1Pay attention to what Yahweh says to you Israeli people:
2But then you mountains must also listen carefully [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining about my people.
3My people, what have I done to cause trouble for you [RHQ]?
4I did great things for your ancestors;
5My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam to curse your ancestors,
6The Israeli people ask, “What shall we bring to Yahweh who lives in heaven
7Will Yahweh be pleased if we offer to him 1,000 rams
8No, because he has shown each of us what is good to do;
9“I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me.
10Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things
11Do you think that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly,
12The rich people among you always act violently to get money from poor people.
13Therefore, I have already begun to get rid of you,
14Soon you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you;
15You will plant seeds,
16Those things will happen to you because you obey only the wicked laws of King Omri,
