God Pleads with Israel
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For cthe Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will1 contend with Israel.
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
What aBalak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From1 Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know bthe righteousness of the Lord.”
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
Ten thousand brivers of oil?
cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
1The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

Micah 6:1
Arise, contend thou - This chapter is a sort of dialogue between God and the people. God speaks the five first verses, and convicts the people of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The People, convinced of their iniquity, deprecate God' s judgments, in the sixth and seventh verses. In the eighth verse God prescribes the way in which they are to be saved; and then the prophet, by the command of God, goes on to remonstrate from the ninth verse to the end of the chapter.
