Listen now to what Yahweh says:

“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
    and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s indictment,
    and you enduring foundations of the earth;
    for Yahweh has a case against his people,
    and he will contend with Israel.
My people, what have I done to you?
    How have I burdened you?
    Answer me!
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
    and redeemed you out of the house of bondage.
    I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised,
    and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal,
    that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”

God Pleads with Israel

Hear now what the Lord says:

“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
(A)Hear, O you mountains, (B)the Lord’s complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For (C)the Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will [a]contend with Israel.

“O My people, what (D)have I done to you?
And how have I (E)wearied you?
Testify against Me.
(F)For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
O My people, remember now
What (G)Balak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From [b]Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know (H)the righteousness of the Lord.”
