1 The word of the Lord that came to aMicah of Moresheth in the days of bJotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
The Coming Judgment on Israel
2 Hear, all you peoples!
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from aHis holy temple.
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from aHis holy temple.
3 For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place;
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
4 aThe mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the ahigh places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the ahigh places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria aa heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will buncover her foundations.
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will buncover her foundations.
7 All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the bpay of a harlot.”
And all her apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the bpay of a harlot.”
