God has a quarrel with Israel's people

Now listen to what the Lord says:

‘Stand up! Explain in front of the mountains what I want to say.
Speak loud so that the hills can hear your voice.[a]

The Lord has a quarrel with Israel's people.
Hear the reasons why the Lord is angry with you, his people.’
