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:
Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones--foundations of earth! For a strife is to Jehovah, with His people, And with Israel He doth reason.
Hear, ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye, unchanging foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
