1 Hear what the Lord is saying:Arise, lay out the lawsuit before the mountains;let the hills hear your voice!
2 Hear, mountains, the lawsuit of the Lord!Hear, eternal foundations of the earth!The Lord has a lawsuit against his people;with Israel he will argue.
3 “My people, what did I ever do to you?How have I wearied you? Answer me!
4 I brought you up out of the land of Egypt;I redeemed you from the house of slavery.I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
5 My people, remember what Moab’s King Balak had planned,and how Balaam, Beor’s son, answered him!Remember everything from Shittim to Gilgal,that you might learn to recognize the righteous acts of the Lord!”
