Rh :And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
 * Such as they have not heard.


 * ye now what the Lord saith;
 * Arise, contend thou before the mountains,
 * And let the hills hear thy voice.
 * Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy,
 * And ye strong foundations of the earth:
 * For the Lord 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.
 * For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt,
 * And redeemed thee out of the house of servants;
 * And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
 * 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.
 * 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?
 * Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
 * Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
