The Lord’s Case

Now hear what the Lord says:

“Get up; plead ·your [or my] case in front of the mountains;
    let the hills hear your ·story [L voice].
Mountains, listen to the Lord’s ·legal case [accusation; indictment].
    ·Strong [Enduring] foundations of the earth, listen.
The Lord has a ·legal case [accusation; indictment] against his people,
    and he will ·accuse [contend with] Israel.”

He says, “My people, what did I do to you?
    How ·did I make you tired of me [have I wearied you]?
    ·Tell [Answer] me.
I brought you from the land of Egypt [Ex. 12:51]
    and ·freed [redeemed] you from slavery;
    I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam [Ex. 15:20] to you.
My people, remember
    the evil plans of Balak king of Moab [Num. 22:5]
    and what Balaam son of Beor told Balak [Num. 22–24].
Remember what happened from Acacia to Gilgal [Josh. 3:1; 4:19–24]
    so that you will know the ·Lord does what is right [righteousness/justice of the Lord]!”
