Micah 1:3-9

3For, behold, YhwhH3068 cometh forthH3318 out of his placeH4725, and will come downH3381, and treadH1869 upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776.

4And the mountainsH2022 shall be moltenH4549 under him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleftH1234, as waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, and as the watersH4325 that are pouredH5064 down a steep placeH4174.1

5For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the high placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389?

6Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof.

7And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313 with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908 it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181, and they shall returnH7725 to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.

8Therefore I will wailH5594 and howlH3213, I will goH3212 strippedH7758 and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH3284H1323.2

9For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389.3
