Micah 6:1-5

New International Reader's Version

“Stand up in court.
    Let the mountains serve as witnesses.
    Let the hills hear what you have to say.”

² Hear the Lord’s case, you mountains.
    Listen, you age-old foundations of the earth.
The Lord has a case against his people Israel.
    He is bringing charges against them.

“My people, what have I done to you?
    Have I made things too hard for you? Answer me.
⁴ I brought your people up out of Egypt.
    I set them free from the land
    where they were slaves.
I sent Moses to lead them.
    Aaron and Miriam helped him.
⁵ Remember how Balak, the king of Moab,
    planned to put a curse on your people.
But Balaam, the son of Beor,
    gave them a blessing instead.
Remember their journey from Shittim to Gilgal.
    I want you to know
    that I always do what is right.”
