Micah 1:3-16
3For beholdH2009, the LordH3068 is 1comingH3318 forthH3318 from His placeH4725. He will comeH3381 downH3381 and 2treadH1869 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the 3earthH776.44The 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 5rebellionH6588 of JacobH3290? Is it not 6SamariaH8111? WhatH4310 is the 7highH1116 8placeH1116 of JudahH3063? Is it not JerusalemH3389?6For I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 a 9heapH5856 of ruinsH5856 10in the open countryH7704, 11PlantingH4302 placesH4302 for a vineyardH3754. I will 12pourH5064 her stonesH68 downH5064 into the valleyH1516 And will 13layH1540 bareH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 of her 14idolsH6456 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 15harlot’sH2181 earningsH868, And to the earningsH868 of a harlotH2181 they will returnH7725.
8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must lamentH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 16barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must makeH6213 a lamentH4553 like the 17jackalsH8565 And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 1819woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 20it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 21gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.1022TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, WeepH1058 not at allH1058. At 23Beth-le-aphrahH1036 rollH6428 yourself in the dustH6083.1124GoH5674 on your wayH5674, inhabitantH3427 of 25ShaphirH8208, in 26shamefulH1322 nakednessH6181. The inhabitantH3427 of 2728ZaananH6630 does not 29escapeH3318. The lamentationH4553 of 30Beth-ezelH1018: “He will takeH3947 from you its 31supportH5979.”12For the inhabitantH3427 of 32MarothH4796 BecomesH2342 weakH2470 33waitingH2342 for goodH2896, BecauseH3588 a calamityH7451 has comeH3381 downH3381 from the LordH3068 To the 34gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389.13HarnessH7573 the chariotH4818 to the team of horsesH7409, O inhabitantH3427 of 35LachishH3923-- She was the beginningH7225 of sinH2403 To the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726-- BecauseH3588 in you were foundH4672 The 36rebelliousH6588 actsH6588 of IsraelH3478.14ThereforeH3651 you will giveH5414 partingH7964 37giftsH7964 On behalfH5921 of Moresheth-gathH4182; The housesH1004 of 38AchzibH392 will become a 39deceptionH391 To the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.15MoreoverH5750, I will bringH935 on you The one who takesH3423 possessionH3423, O inhabitantH3427 of 4041MareshahH4762. The gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478 will enterH935 42AdullamH5725.16MakeH7139 yourself 43baldH7139 and cutH1494 offH1494 your hairH1494, BecauseH3588 of the childrenH1121 of your delightH8588; ExtendH7337 your baldnessH7144 like the eagleH5404, For they will 44goH1540 from you into exileH1540.
