God’s Case Against His People

Listen now to what the Lord is saying!

    Get up. Plead your case to the mountains.
    Let the hills hear your voice.
Listen, you mountains, to the accusation from the Lord.
    Pay attention, you enduring foundations of the earth,
    because the Lord is presenting a case against his people,
    and he is indicting Israel.

My people, what have I done to you,
    and how have I made you weary? Answer me!
I was the one who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
    I redeemed you from the place where you were slaves.
    I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam ahead of you.
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab planned,
    and how Balaam son of Beor responded to him
    when you were about to travel from Shittim to Gilgal,
    so that you may acknowledge the Lord’s righteous acts.
