The Lord’s Case Against Israel
Listen to what the Lord says:
“Stand up, plead your case before the mountains;
let the hills hear what you have to say.
2
Hear, O mountains, the Lord’s accusation;
listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth.
For the Lord has a case against his people;
he is lodging a charge against Israel.
3
“My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened you? Answer me.
4
I brought you up out of Egypt
and redeemed you from the land of slavery.
I sent Moses to lead you,
also Aaron and Miriam.
5
My people, remember
what Balak king of Moab counseled
and what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal,
that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord.”
