1. Hear now what the Lord says:“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,And let the hills hear your voice.
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.”
