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

The LORD’s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Therefore I will look unto the LORD ; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
