2 Hear, O you mountains, the Lord’s complaint,And you strong foundations of the earth;For the Lord has a complaint against His people,And He will contend with Israel.
3 “O My people, what have I done to you?And how have I wearied you?Testify against Me.
4 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.
5 O My people, remember nowWhat Balak king of Moab counseled,And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,From Acacia Grove to Gilgal,That you may know the righteousness of the Lord.”
6 With what shall I come before the Lord,And bow myself before the High God?Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,With calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,Ten thousand rivers of oil?Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;And what does the Lord require of youBut to do justly,To love mercy,And to walk humbly with your God?
