Micah 6:2
Foundations of the earth - The mountains properly so called; the sin of Israel is so notorious, that the whole creation may be summoned as a witness against them.
God Pleads with Israel
1 Hear now what the Lord says:
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
2 aHear, O you mountains, bthe Lord’s complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For cthe Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will1 contend with Israel.
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For cthe Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will1 contend with Israel.
4 aFor 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.
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O My people, remember now
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.”
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.”
6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
7 aWill the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand brivers of oil?
cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
1The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Ten thousand brivers of oil?
cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
1The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
