Micah 1:3-8

3 For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place;
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
4 (A)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the (B)high places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria (C)a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will (D)uncover her foundations.
7 All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her (E)pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the (F)pay of a harlot.”
Mourning for Israel and Judah
8 Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
(G)I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,

Isaiah 30:12-14
New King James Version
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you (A)despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
(B)Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking (C)comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 And (D)He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
[a]A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”
