1. God's Courtroom is Creation (v. 1-2) 

Earth's foundations and mountains are called to hear God's case.


2. God's Complaint for Breach of Covenant (v. 3-5)

God presents evidence of His deliverance and preservation.


3. Israel's Offer of Restitution (v. 6-7)

Israel offers to come to God with sacrifices and offerings.


4. God's Rejection of Israel's Offer (v. 8a)

Israel's offer shows a lack of integrity, not a lack of information.


5. God's Remedy is Specific Performance (v. 8b)

Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.


"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!"
—Matthew 23:23-24
