Micah 1:3-9

3For, behold, the LORD cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 4And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.1 5For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 6Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations. 7And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered it from the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

8Therefore I will wail and weep, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.2 9For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.3
