The Lord’s Indictment against Israel

Please hear what the Lord says:
    “Get up and make your case before the mountains,
        and let the hills listen to your voice.
Listen, you mountains, to the Lord’s argument!
    Listen, you[a] strong foundations of the earth,
because the Lord has a dispute with his people,
    and he will set out his case before Israel.

“My people, what have I done to you,
    and how have I offended you?
        Answer me!
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
    and ransomed you from the house of slavery,
        sending Moses, Aaron, and Miriam into your presence.

“My people, recall how king Balak of Moab deliberated,
    and how Beor’s son Balaam counseled him from Shittim to Gilgal,
        so that you may know the righteousness of the Lord.”
