Micah 6:2–4

2 “Hear, you mountains, the Lord’s accusation;

listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth.

For the Lord has a case against his people;

he is lodging a charge against Israel.

3 “My people, what have I done to you?

How have I burdened you? Answer me.

4 I brought you up out of Egypt

and redeemed you from the land of slavery.

I sent Moses to lead you,

also Aaron and Miriam.

2 Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord’s controversy,

And ye strong foundations of the earth:

For the Lord hath a controversy with his people,

And he will plead with Israel.

3 O my people, what have I done unto thee?

And wherein have I wearied thee?

Testify against me.

4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt,

And redeemed thee out of the house of servants;

And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

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.

2 Hear, O you mountains, the Lord’s complaint,

And you strong foundations of the earth;

For the Lord has a complaint against His people,

And He will contend with Israel.

3 “O My people, what have I done to you?

And how have I wearied you?

Testify against Me.

4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,

I redeemed you from the house of bondage;

And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

2 Mountains, listen to the Lord’s legal case.

Foundations of the earth, listen.

The Lord has a legal case against his people,

and he will accuse Israel.”

3 He says, “My people, what did I do to you?

How did I make you tired of me?

Tell me.

4 I brought you from the land of Egypt

and freed you from slavery;

I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to you.

2 Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah’s controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. 4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

2 Hear, you mountains, the case of the Lord,

and you enduring foundations of the earth,

for the Lord has a case against his people,

and he will contend with Israel.

2 Hear, O mountains, the indictment of Yahweh,

and you eternal foundations of the earth,

for Yahweh has an indictment against his people,

And you enduring foundations of the earth,

Because the Lord has a case against His people;

Even with Israel He will dispute.
