Whom ^H834 You tested ^H5254 at Massah ^H4532,

Then the men ^H376 of Ephraim ^H669 said ^H559 to him, “What ^H4100 is this ^H2088 thing ^H1697 you have done ^H6213 to us, not calling ^H7121 us when ^H3588 you went ^H1980 to fight ^H3898 against Midian ^H4080?” And they strongly ^H2394 contended ^H7378 with him.

“Those who contend ^H7378 with Yahweh ^H3068 will be dismayed ^H2865;

Against ^H5921 them He will thunder ^H7481 in the heavens ^H8064;

Yahweh ^H3068 will render ^H1777 justice ^H1777 to the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776,

And He will give ^H5414 strength ^H5797 to His king ^H4428,

And He will exalt ^H7311 the [fn]horn ^H7161 of His anointed ^H4899.”

Let me know ^H3045 why ^H5921 H4100 You contend ^H7378 with me.

“Will you show ^H5375 partiality ^H6440 H5375 for Him?

Will you contend ^H7378 for God ^H410?

“Who ^H4310 will contend ^H7378 with me?

For now ^H6258 I am ^H2790 silent ^H2790 and will breathe ^H1478 my last ^H1478.

“Would He contend ^H7378 with me by the greatness ^H7230 of His power ^H3581?

When they filed ^H7379 a ^H7379 complaint ^H7379 against ^H5973 me,

“Why ^H4069 do you contend ^H7378 against ^H413 Him?

Of David.

Contend ^H7378, O Yahweh ^H3068, with those who contend ^H3401 with me;

Fight ^H3898 against ^H854 those who fight ^H3898 against me.

Give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to me, O God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 my case ^H7379 against ^H4480 an unholy ^H2623 H3808 nation ^H1471;

[fn]Oh protect ^H6403 me from the deceitful ^H4820 and unrighteous ^H5766 man ^H376!

Arise ^H6965, O God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 Your own cause ^H7379;

Remember ^H2142 [fn]how the wicked ^H5036 fool ^H5036 reproaches ^H2781 You all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

He will not always ^H5331 contend ^H7378 with us,

And ^H3808 He will not keep ^H5201 His anger forever ^H5769.

Plead ^H7378 my cause ^H7379 and redeem ^H1350 me;

Revive ^H2421 me according to Your [fn]word ^H565.

Do not contend ^H7378 with a man ^H120 without ^H2600 cause ^H2600,

If ^H518 he has dealt ^H1580 you no ^H3808 [fn]harm ^H7451.

For Yahweh ^H3068 will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379

And rob ^H6906 the soul ^H5315 of those who rob ^H6906 them.

For their Redeemer ^H1350 is strong ^H2389;

He will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379 against ^H854 you.

Do not go ^H3318 out ^H3318 hastily ^H4118 to plead ^H7378 your case;

Lest ^H6435, what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213 in [fn]the end ^H319,

When your neighbor ^H7453 humiliates ^H3637 you?

Learn ^H3925 to do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941,

Reprove ^H833 the ruthless ^H2541,

Execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Plead ^H7378 for the widow ^H490.

Yahweh ^H3068 takes ^H5324 His stand ^H5324 to contend ^H7378,

And stands ^H5975 to judge ^H1777 the peoples ^H5971.

You contended ^H7378 with them [fn]by driving ^H5432 them away ^H5432, by making ^H7971 them forlorn ^H7971.

With His fierce ^H7186 wind ^H7307 He has expelled ^H1898 them on the day ^H3117 of the east ^H6921 wind ^H6921.

“Woe ^H1945 to the one who contends ^H7378 with his [fn]Maker ^H3335—

An earthenware ^H2789 vessel ^H2789 [fn]among ^H854 the vessels ^H2789 of earth ^H127!

Will the clay ^H2563 say ^H559 to the [fn]potter ^H3335, ‘What ^H4100 are you doing ^H6213?’

Or the thing ^H6467 you are making ^H6467 say, ‘He has ^H369 no ^H369 hands ^H3027’?

Surely ^H3588, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Even ^H1571 the captives ^H7628 of the mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 will be taken ^H3947 away,

And the prey ^H4455 of the tyrant ^H6184 will be granted escape ^H4422;

For I will contend ^H7378 with the one ^H3401 who ^H3401 contends ^H3401 with you,

And I will save ^H3467 your sons ^H1121.

He who [fn]vindicates ^H6663 Me is near ^H7138;

Who ^H4310 will contend ^H7378 with Me?

Let us stand ^H5975 up to each ^H3162 other ^H3162;

Who ^H4310 has ^H1167 a judgment ^H1167 H4941 against Me?

Let him approach ^H5066 Me.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 your Lord ^H136, Yahweh ^H3068, even your God ^H430

Who contends ^H7378 for His people ^H5971,

“Behold ^H2009, I have taken ^H3947 out of your hand ^H3027 the cup ^H3563 of reeling ^H8653,

The [fn]chalice ^H6907 H3563 of My wrath ^H2534;

You will never ^H3808 drink ^H8354 it again ^H3254.

“For I will not contend ^H7378 forever ^H5769,

Nor ^H3808 will I always ^H5331 be ^H7107 angry ^H7107;

For the spirit ^H7307 would grow ^H5848 faint ^H5848 before ^H4480 H6440 Me,

And the breath ^H5397 of those whom I have made ^H6213.

“Therefore ^H3651 I will yet ^H5750 contend ^H7378 with you,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And with your sons’ ^H1121 sons ^H1121 I will contend ^H7378.

“Why ^H4100 do you contend ^H7378 with Me?

You have all ^H3605 transgressed ^H6586 against Me,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.
