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.”
6. What can we bring to the lord?Should we bring him burnt offerings?Should we bow before God Most Highwith offerings of yearling calves?
