1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 to MicahH4318 the Morashtite in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, whichH834 he sawH2372 concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389. 2HearH8085, ye peoplesH5971, allH3605 of youH3605; hearken, O earthH776, and allH3605 that therein is: and letH1961 the LordH136 GODH136 be witnessH5707 againstH3605 youH3605, the LordH136 from his holyH6944 templeH1964. 3For, beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 cometh forthH3318 outH3318 of his placeH4725, and will comeH3318 downH3381, and treadH1869 uponH5921 the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776. 4And the mountainsH2022 shall be molten underH8478 him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleft, as waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, as watersH4325 that are pouredH5064 downH5064 a steepH4174 placeH8478. 5For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is allH3605 this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. WhatH4310 is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it notH3808 SamariaH8111? and whatH4310 are the highH1116 placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they notH3808 JerusalemH3389? 6Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as the plantings of a vineyardH3754: and I will pourH5064 downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof intoH1540 the valleyH1516, and I will discover the foundationsH3247 thereof. 7And allH3605 herH3605 gravenH6456 imagesH6456 shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and allH3605 herH3605 hires shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784, and allH3605 herH3605 idolsH6091 will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181 hath sheH3588 gatheredH6908 them, and unto the hireH868 of an harlotH2181 shall they returnH7725. 8For this will I wailH3213 and howlH3213, I will go stripped and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the jackalsH8577, and a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284. 9For herH935 woundsH4347 are incurableH605: for it is comeH935 evenH5704 unto JudahH3063; it reacheth unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, evenH5704 to JerusalemH3389. 10TellH5046 it notH408 in GathH1661, weepH1058 notH408 at allH1058: at Beth-le-AphrahH1036 have I rolled myself in the dustH6083. 11PassH5674 ye awayH3947, O inhabitantH3427 of ShaphirH8208, in nakednessH6181 and shameH1322: the inhabitantH3427 of ZaananH6630 is notH3808 comeH3318 forthH3318; the wailing of Beth-ezelH1018 shall takeH3947 from youH3808 the stayH3427 thereof. 12For the inhabitantH3427 of MarothH4796 waiteth anxiously for goodH2896: becauseH3588 evilH7451 is comeH3381 downH3381 from the LORDH3068 unto the gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389. 13Bind the chariotH4818 to the swiftH7409 steed, O inhabitantH3427 of LachishH3923: sheH1931 was the beginningH7225 of sinH2403 to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; for the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 were foundH4672 in thee. 14Therefore shalt thou giveH5414 a partingH7964 giftH5414 to Moresheth-gathH4182: the housesH1004 of AchzibH392 shall be a deceitful thingH3651 unto the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 15I will yet bringH935 unto thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MareshahH4762, him that shall possessH3423 thee: the gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935 evenH5704 unto AdullamH5725. 16MakeH7139 thee baldH7144, and poll thee for the childrenH1121 of thy delightH8588: enlargeH7337 thy baldnessH7144 as the eagleH5404; for they are goneH4480 intoH1540 captivityH1540 from thee.
