Micah 6:1-5

The Indictment of the Lord

1 1Hear what the LORD says: Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 2Hear, you mountains, 3the indictment of the LORD, and you enduring foundations of the earth, for the LORD has an indictment against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 "O my people, 4what have I done to you? 5How have I wearied you? Answer me!
4 For 6I brought you up from the land of Egypt and 7redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and 8Miriam.
5 O my people, remember 9what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and what happened from 10Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know 11the saving acts of the LORD."
