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 due to the 5wrongdoingH6588 of JacobH3290 And the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. WhatH4310 is the 67wrongdoingH6588 of JacobH3290? Is it not 8SamariaH8111? WhatH4310 is the 9highH1116 10placeH1116 of JudahH3063? Is it not JerusalemH3389?6For I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 a 11heapH5856 ofH5856 ruinsH5856 12in the open countryH7704, 13PlantingH4302 placesH4302 for a vineyardH3754. I will 14hurlH5064 her stonesH68 downH5064 into the valleyH1516, And 15layH1540 bareH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 of her 16idolsH6456 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 17prostitute’sH2181 earningsH868, And to the earningsH868 of a prostituteH2181 they will returnH7725.

8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must mournH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 18barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must doH6213 mourningH4553 like the 19jackalsH8565, And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 20woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 21it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 22gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.1023Do not tellH5046 it in GathH1661, Do not weepH1058 atH1058 allH1058. At 24Beth-le-aphrahH1036 rollH6428 yourself in the dustH6083 inH6428 mourningH6428.1125GoH5674 onH5674 your wayH5674, inhabitantH3427 of 26ShaphirH8208, in 27shamefulH1322 nakednessH6181. The inhabitantH3427 of 2829ZaananH6630 does not 30escapeH3318. The mourningH4553 of 31Beth-ezelH1018: “He will takeH3947 from you its 32supportH5979.”12For the inhabitantH3427 of 33MarothH4796 3435WaitsH3176 for something goodH2896, BecauseH3588 a disasterH7451 has comeH3381 downH3381 from the LordH3068 To the 36gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389.13HarnessH7573 the chariotH4818 to the teamH7409 ofH7409 horsesH7409, You inhabitantH3427 of 37LachishH3923-- She was the beginningH7225 of sinH2403 To the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726-- BecauseH3588 in you were foundH4672 The 38rebelliousH6588 actsH6588 of IsraelH3478.14ThereforeH3651 you will giveH5414 partingH7964 39giftsH7964 InH5921 behalfH5921 ofH5921 Moresheth-gathH4182; The housesH1004 of 40AchzibH392 will become a 4142deceptionH391 To the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.15MoreoverH5750, I will bringH935 on you The one who takesH3423 possessionH3423, You inhabitantH3427 of 4344MareshahH4762. The gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478 will enterH935 45AdullamH5725.16ShaveH7139 yourself 46baldH7139, yes, cutH1494 offH1494 your hairH1494, BecauseH5921 of the childrenH1121 of your delightH8588; ExtendH7337 your baldnessH7144 like the eagleH5404, For they will 47goH1540 from you intoH1540 exileH1540.
