Micah 1:3-9
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.
