Micah 6:3-5

Amplified Bible

³
“O My people, what have I done to you [since you have turned away from Me]?
And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.
⁴
“For I brought you up from the land of Egypt
And ransomed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you Moses [to lead you], Aaron [the high priest], and Miriam [the prophetess].
⁵
“My people, remember now
What Balak king of Moab devised [with his evil plan against Israel]
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him [turning the curse into blessing for Israel],
[Remember what the Lord did for you] from ^[a]Shittim to Gilgal,
So that you may know the righteous and saving acts [displaying the power] of the Lord.”^(A)

Footnotes

Micah 6:5 God reminds His people of His gracious acts in their behalf—how Balak tried to oppose Israel through pagan rites, sending for Balaam to put a curse on the Israelites; how God saved Israel by causing Balaam to bless instead of curse them; and how God later led them across the Jordan River into the promised land, from Shittim (Josh 3:1) to Gilgal (Josh 4:19).
