Micah 1:2-7

2Hear, you peoples, all of 1you; 2Listen carefully, earth and 3all it contains, And may the Lord 4God be a 5witness against you, The Lord from His holy temple.3For behold, the Lord is 6coming forth from His place. He will come down and 7tread on the high places of the 8earth.4 9The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place.5All this is due to the 10wrongdoing of Jacob And the sins of the house of Israel. What is the 11 12wrongdoing of Jacob? Is it not 13Samaria? What is the 14high 15place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?6For I will make Samaria a 16heap of ruins 17in the open country, 18Planting places for a vineyard. I will 19hurl her stones down into the valley, And 20lay bare her foundations.7All of her 21idols will be crushed, All of her earnings will be burned with fire, And all of her images I will make desolate; For she collected them from a 22prostitute’s earnings, And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.
