The Lord Demands Justice, not Ritual
6:1Listen to what the Lord says:
“Get up! Defend yourself1 before the mountains!2
Present your case before the hills!”3
Footnotes
- 1 Or “plead your case” (, , ); “present your plea”; “state your case.” Defend yourself. The Lord challenges Israel to defend itself against the charges he is bringing.
- 2 As in some ancient Near Eastern treaties, the mountains are personified as legal witnesses that will settle the dispute between God and Israel.
- 3 Heb “let the hills hear your voice.”
