though they are as red as crimson,
they will be like wool.

even if I bring a case against You.

Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the treacherous live at ease?

you mountains and enduring foundations of the earth,
because the Lord has a case against His people,
and He will argue it against Israel.
