Charles Spurgeon 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;

And yet some doubt the infallible inspiration of Scripture. I would commence every reading of the Scripture with such a word of admonition as this: Hear ye now what the Lord saith. That is what the prophet said; but God spoke by the prophet: Hear ye now what the Lord saith.

Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

As men were hardened, and turned away their ears, the prophet was commanded to speak to the mountains, those mountains which had been disfigured with the shrines of idols, with altars on every high hill, or, perhaps, those higher hills that were never cultivated, and that remained untouched by the defiling hand of men. God makes an appeal to these ancient things.
