Literal Version

6:1 Yahweh’s challenge to Israel

6Now listen to what Yahweh says,

Take action, present your case to the mountains.

and let the hills hear your voice.

2Listen to Yahweh’s lawsuit, you mountains,

and you enduring foundations of the earth,

because Yahweh has a lawsuit with his people,

and he’ll present evidence against Israel.”

3“My people, what have I done to you?

How have I worn you down?

Present your case against me.

4I rescued you out of slavery

and brought you out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim).

I sent Mosheh, Aharon, and Miryam to you.[ref]

5My people, remember what Moav’s King Balak devised,

and how Beor’s son Balaam answered that king

as you went from Shittim to Gilgal.

Think about that so you can know Yahweh’s righteous actions.”[ref]
