Order in the court !

Micah 6: 1-3
Here we see Micah conjuring images of a courtroom. Obviously, God as the judge. Telling His people how they have wronged Him and each other and reciting what He asks of them.
Within Micah, chapters 4 and 5 bring messages of hope and 6 and 7 proclaim judgement and require repentance from His people.
Here we see that the mountains themselves are the jury, where God calls to confirm the peoples guilt.
These mountains would serve as excellent witnesses, due to the fact that it would have been up in those high places that God's people would have built there pagan alters and sacrifices to their false gods ( 1 Kings 14:23 / Jeremiah 17: 2-3 / Ezekiel 20: 27-28 )
This question asked from God, is unanswerable. Simply because He has done nothing wrong. In fact, He had been over generous and very patient with them. Always showing them love, guidance and giving them every opportunity to repent and return to Him.
If God asked you this question, what would be your reply ?
Love you x
