our borders.

L
ORD
, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion
among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through,
both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

chariots:

12
And I
will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no

images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more
worship the work of thine hands.

Hear ye now what the L
ORD
saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear
thy voice.

Hear ye, O mountains, the L
ORD
’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth:
for the L
ORD
hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

O my people, what
have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

ORD
,
and
bow myself before the high God? shall I come

ORD
be pleased with thousands
of rams,
or
with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn

my transgression, the
fruit of my body
for
the sin of my soul?

He hath shewed thee, O man, what
is
good; and what
doth the L
ORD
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy
God?

ORD
’S voice crieth unto the city, and
the man of
wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye
the rod, and who hath appointed it.

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure
that is
abominable?

them
pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful
weights?

lies, and their tongue
is
deceitful in their mouth.
13
Therefore also will I make
thee
sick in smiting
