Micah 1:3-9

3For behold, Adonai is coming forth out of His place. He will come down and trample on the high places of the land.

4The mountains will melt away under Him and the valleys will split apart like wax before the fire, like water being poured down a slope.

5All this is because of Jacob’s transgression and the sins of the house of Israel. Who is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? Who are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem?

6So I will make Samaria into a ruin in the countryside, planting places for a vineyard. I will hurl her stones into the valley and will lay bare her foundations.

7All her images will be smashed, all her prostitute’s pay burned with fire, and all her idols I will make desolate. For from prostitute’s pay she collected them and to prostitute’s pay they will return.

8Concerning this let me lament and howl. Let me walk barefoot and naked. I will make a howl like jackals and a mourning like ostriches.

9For her wounds are incurable. For it has come up to Judah. It has reached the gate of my people— even up to Jerusalem!
