Micah 1:3-9

3ForH3588 beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 comes forthH3318 from His dwelling placeH4725; He will come downH3381 and treadH1869 onH5921 the high placesH1116 of the earthH776.4The mountainsH2022 will meltH4549 beneath HimH8478, and the valleysH6010 will split apartH1234, like waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, like waterH4325 rushing downH5064 a slopeH4174.

5AllH3605 thisH2063 is for the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290and the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.WhatH4310 is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290?Is it notH3808 SamariaH8111?And whatH4310 is the high placeH1116 of JudahH3063?Is it notH3808 JerusalemH3389?

6Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111a heap of rubbleH5856 in the open fieldH7704,a planting areaH4302 for a vineyardH3754.I will pourH5064 her stonesH68 into the valleyH1516and exposeH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 her carved imagesH6456 will be smashed to piecesH3807;allH3605 her wagesH868 will be burnedH8313 in the fireH784,and I will destroyH7760 H8077 allH3605 her idolsH6091.SinceH3588 she collectedH6908 H5704 the wagesH868 of a prostituteH2181,theyH868 will be used againH7725 on a prostituteH2181.

8Because ofH5921 thisH2063 I will lamentH5594 and wailH3213;I will walkH1980 barefootH7758 and nakedH6174.I will howlH6213 H4553 like a jackalH8577 1and mournH60 likeH1323 an ostrichH3284.29ForH3588 her woundH4347 is incurableH605 ;it has reachedH935 H5704 even JudahH3063;it has approachedH5060 the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 H5704,as far asH5704 Jerusalem itselfH3389.
