「雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。你並沒有將你的羊帶來獻給我做燔祭，也沒有用牲祭尊敬我；我未曾因素祭使你操勞，也沒有因乳香使你厭煩。

「聽啊，我的子民，我要說話！以色列啊，我要審問你；我是上帝，是你的上帝！

這世代的人哪，你們要留意耶和華的話。我向以色列豈是曠野，或幽暗之地呢？我的百姓為何說：『我們脫離約束，不再歸向你了』？

我的百姓啊，當記念從前摩押王巴勒如何籌算，比珥的兒子巴蘭如何回應他，當記念從什亭到吉甲所發生的事，好使你們明白耶和華公義的作為。」

我們知道律法所說的話都是對律法之下的人說的，好塞住各人的口，使普世的人都伏在上帝的審判之下。

我向你犯罪，惟獨得罪了你，在你眼前行了這惡，以致你責備的時候顯為公義，判斷的時候顯為清白。
