Charles Ellicott Commentary Micah 6:1

"Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice." — Micah 6:1 (ASV)

Hear ye now what the Lord saith. The third portion of Micah’s prophecy opens with a solemn appeal to Nature to hear the Lord pleading with His people. A similar summons is found in Deuteronomy 32:1: “Give ear, O ye heavens, and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.”
