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, and whichH834 he sawH2372 regardingH5921 SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.2HearH8085, you peoplesH5971, allH3605 of 6you; 7ListenH7181 carefullyH7181, earthH776 and 8allH4393 it containsH4393, And may 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 due to the 15wrongdoingH6588 of JacobH3290 And the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. WhatH4310 is the 1617wrongdoingH6588 of JacobH3290? Is it not 18SamariaH8111? WhatH4310 is the 19highH1116 20placeH1116 of JudahH3063? Is it not JerusalemH3389?6For I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 a 21heapH5856 ofH5856 ruinsH5856 22in the open countryH7704, 23PlantingH4302 placesH4302 for a vineyardH3754. I will 24hurlH5064 her stonesH68 downH5064 into the valleyH1516, And 25layH1540 bareH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 of her 26idolsH6456 will be crushedH3807, AllH3605 of her earningsH868 will be burnedH8313 with fireH784, And allH3605 of her imagesH6091 I will makeH7760 desolateH8077; For she collectedH6908 them from a 27prostitute’sH2181 earningsH868, And to the earningsH868 of a prostituteH2181 they will returnH7725.
8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must mournH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 28barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must doH6213 mourningH4553 like the 29jackalsH8565, And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 30woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 31it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 32gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.
