The mountains of Bashan are majestic,
    with many peaks stretching high into the sky.
¹⁶ Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountains,
    at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live,
    where the Lord himself will live forever?

The mountain in the background is one of the mountains of Bashan.

By comparison Zion is a hill. Why do you think the mountains of Bashan envy Zion? What is the spiritual application?
