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.”

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