Micah 6:3

Read in context

Micah 6:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

2 Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

3 ‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!

4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.

5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
