Micah 1:1-9
1The 1wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 cameH1961 to 2MicahH4318 of MoreshethH4183 in the daysH3117 of 3JothamH3147, 4AhazH271 and 5HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, whichH834 he sawH2372 concerningH5921 SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.2HearH8085, O peoplesH5971, allH3605 of 6you; 7ListenH7181, O earthH776 and 8allH4393 it containsH4393, And let the LordH136 9GodH3068 be a 10witnessH5707 against you, The LordH136 from His holyH6944 templeH1964.3For beholdH2009, the LordH3068 is 11comingH3318 forthH3318 from His placeH4725. He will comeH3381 downH3381 and 12treadH1869 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the 13earthH776.414The mountainsH2022 will meltH4549 underH8478 Him And the valleysH6010 will be splitH1234, Like waxH1749 beforeH4480H6440 the fireH784, Like waterH4325 pouredH5064 downH5064 a steepH4174 placeH4174.5AllH3605 thisH2088 is for the rebellionH6588 of JacobH3290 And for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. WhatH4310 is the 15rebellionH6588 of JacobH3290? Is it not 16SamariaH8111? WhatH4310 is the 17highH1116 18placeH1116 of JudahH3063? Is it not JerusalemH3389?6For I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 a 19heapH5856 of ruinsH5856 20in the open countryH7704, 21PlantingH4302 placesH4302 for a vineyardH3754. I will 22pourH5064 her stonesH68 downH5064 into the valleyH1516 And will 23layH1540 bareH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 of her 24idolsH6456 will be smashedH3807, AllH3605 of her earningsH868 will be burnedH8313 with fireH784 And allH3605 of her imagesH6091 I will makeH7760 desolateH8077, For she collectedH6908 them from a 25harlot’sH2181 earningsH868, And to the earningsH868 of a harlotH2181 they will returnH7725.
8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must lamentH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 26barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must makeH6213 a lamentH4553 like the 27jackalsH8565 And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 2829woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 30it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 31gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.
