1. Listen to what the lord is saying:“Stand up and state your case against me.Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.
2. And now, O mountains,listen to the lord’s complaint!He has a case against his people.He will bring charges against Israel.
3. “O my people, what have I done to you?What have I done to make you tired of me?Answer me!
4. For I brought you out of Egyptand redeemed you from slavery.I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
5. Don’t you remember, my people,how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursedand how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal,when I, the lord, did everything I couldto teach you about my faithfulness.”
