The Lord Accuses Israel

1 ^rHear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,
for ^sthe Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
and ^tno knowledge of God in the land;
2 ^uthere is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
they break all bounds, and ^vbloodshed follows bloodshed.
