Yahweh Brings a Charge against Israel

• “Arise! Plead your case with the mountains,
  • and let the hills hear your voice.”
  • 2 Hear, O mountains, the indictment of Yahweh, and you eternal foundations of the earth,
• for Yahweh has an indictment against his people,
  • and against Israel he contends.
  • 3 “O my people, what have I done to you, and how have I wearied you? Answer me!
  • 4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and from the house of slavery I redeemed you.
  • And I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
  • 5 O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
• and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal,
  • so that you might know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
