¹ Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

²⁶ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;

²⁸ Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

⁴ He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:

¹⁹ Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

¹ Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

¹² Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah.

²⁹ O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah.
