Micah 1:3-9

3For, behold, Jehovah cometh forthH3318 out of his placeH4725, and will comeH3318 down, and treadH1869 upon the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776. 4And the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 under him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleft, as waxH1749 before the fireH784, as watersH4325 that are pouredH5064 down a steep placeH8478. 5For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the highH1116 placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389? 6Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as a heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as placesH4302 for plantingH4302 vineyardsH3754; and I will pourH5064 down the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will uncoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof. 7And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784, and all her idolsH6091 will I lay desolate; for of the hireH868 of a harlot hath she gatheredH6908 them, and unto the hireH868 of a harlot shall they returnH7725.

8For this will I lamentH5594 and wailH3213; I will go stripped and nakedH6174; I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the jackalsH8577, and a lamentation like the ostrichesH3284. 9For her woundsH4347 are incurableH605; for it is comeH935 even unto JudahH3063; it reacheth unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389.
