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 Egypt
and 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 cursed
and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?
And remember your journey from Acacia Grove 1 to Gilgal,
when I, the Lord , did everything I could
to teach you about my faithfulness.”
