Yahweh’s Case Against His People

[a](A)Listen now to what Yahweh is saying,

“Arise, plead your case [b]before the mountains,
And let the hills [c](B)listen to your voice.
[d](C)Listen, you mountains, to the case of Yahweh,
And you enduring (D)foundations of the earth,
Because (E)Yahweh has a case against His people;
Even with Israel He will reprove.
(F)My people, (G)what have I done to you,
And (H)how have I wearied you? Answer Me.
Indeed, I (I)brought you up from the land of Egypt
And (J)ransomed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you (K)Moses, Aaron, and (L)Miriam.
My people, remember now
What (M)Balak king of Moab counseled
And what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
And from (N)Shittim to (O)Gilgal,
So [e]that you might know the (P)righteous acts of Yahweh.”

Yahweh Brings a Charge against Israel

Hear now what Yahweh says:
“Arise! Plead your case with the mountains,
    and let the hills hear your voice.”
Hear, O mountains, the indictment of Yahweh,
    and you eternal foundations of the earth,
for Yahweh has an indictment against his people,
    and against Israel he contends.
“O my people, what have I done to you,
    and how have I wearied you? Answer me!
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
    and from the house of slavery I redeemed you.
    And I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised,
    and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal,
    so that you might know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
