Condenación de Israel y Judá

Palabra del Señor(A) que vino a Miqueas de Moréset(B) en los días de Jotam(C), Acaz(D) y Ezequías(E), reyes de Judá; lo que vio acerca de Samaria y Jerusalén.

Oíd, pueblos todos[a],
escucha, tierra y cuanto hay en ti(F);
sea el Señor Dios[b] testigo contra vosotros(G),
el Señor desde su santo templo.
Porque he aquí, el Señor sale de su lugar(H),
y descenderá y hollará las alturas de la tierra(I).
Debajo de Él los montes se derretirán(J),
y los valles se hendirán,
como la cera ante el fuego,
como las aguas derramadas por una pendiente.
Todo esto por la rebelión de Jacob
y por los pecados de la casa de Israel.
¿Cuál es la rebelión de Jacob(K)?
¿No es Samaria(L)?
¿Cuál es el lugar alto[c] de Judá?
¿No es Jerusalén(M)?
Haré, pues, de Samaria un montón de ruinas en el[d] campo(N),
lugares para plantar viñas(O);
derramaré sus piedras por el valle(P),
y pondré al descubierto sus cimientos(Q).
Todos sus ídolos serán destrozados(R),
y todas sus ganancias serán quemadas por el fuego,
y asolaré todas sus imágenes,
porque las juntó de ganancias de ramera(S),
y a ganancias de ramera volverán.

Por eso me lamentaré y gemiré,
andaré descalzo y desnudo(T),
daré aullidos como los chacales
y lamentos como los avestruces(U).
Porque es incurable su herida[e](V),
pues ha llegado hasta Judá(W);
se ha acercado hasta la puerta de mi pueblo,
hasta Jerusalén(X).
10 En Gat no lo anunciéis(Y),
tampoco[f] lloréis.
En Bet-le-afrá[g] revuélcate en el polvo.
11 Vete[h] al cautiverio, habitante de Safir[i], en vergonzosa desnudez(Z).
La que habita en Zaanán[j](AA) no escapa[k].
La lamentación de Bet-esel[l] es
que Él quitará de vosotros su apoyo[m].
12 Porque se debilita esperando el bien(AB)
la que habita en Marot[n],
pues la calamidad ha descendido del Señor
hasta la puerta de Jerusalén(AC).
13 Unce al carro los corceles,
habitante de Laquis(AD)
(ella fue principio de pecado
para la hija de Sión);
porque en ti fueron halladas
las rebeliones de Israel(AE).
14 Por tanto, darás presentes(AF) de despedida
a Moréset-gat;
las casas de Aczib[o](AG) serán un engaño(AH)
para los reyes de Israel.
15 Además, traeré contra ti
al que toma posesión,
oh habitante de Maresa[p](AI).
Hasta Adulam se irá la gloria de Israel(AJ).
16 Arráncate los cabellos y ráete(AK)
por los hijos de tus delicias;
ensancha tu calva como la del buitre,
porque irán al cautiverio lejos de ti(AL).

Judgment on Israel and Judah

The word of the Lord that came to (A)Micah of Moresheth in the days of (B)Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

The Coming Judgment on Israel

Hear, all you peoples!
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from (C)His holy temple.

For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place;
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
(D)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
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 (E)high places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?

“Therefore I will make Samaria (F)a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will (G)uncover her foundations.
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her (H)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 (I)pay of a harlot.”

Mourning for Israel and Judah

Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
(J)I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
For her wounds are incurable.
For (K)it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.

10 (L)Tell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all;
In [a]Beth Aphrah
Roll yourself in the dust.
11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of [b]Shaphir;
The inhabitant of [c]Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.

12 For the inhabitant of [d]Maroth [e]pined for good,
But (M)disaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13 O inhabitant of (N)Lachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were (O)found in you.

14 Therefore you shall (P)give presents to [f]Moresheth Gath;
The houses of (Q)Achzib[g] shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of (R)Mareshah;[h]
The glory of Israel shall come to (S)Adullam.[i]
16 Make yourself (T)bald and cut off your hair,
Because of your (U)precious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into (V)captivity.

The word of the Lord that came to Micah (A)of Moresheth (B)in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw (C)concerning (D)Samaria and Jerusalem.

The Coming Destruction

(E)Hear, you peoples, all of you;[a]
    (F)pay attention, O earth, and all that is in it,
and (G)let the Lord God be a witness against you,
    (H)the Lord from his holy temple.
For behold, (I)the Lord is coming out of (J)his place,
    and will come down and (K)tread upon the high places of the earth.
And (L)the mountains will melt under him,
    and the valleys will split open,
like wax before the fire,
    like waters poured down a steep place.
All this is for (M)the transgression of Jacob
    and for the sins of the house of Israel.
(N)What is the transgression of Jacob?
    Is it not (O)Samaria?
And what is (P)the high place of Judah?
    Is it not Jerusalem?
Therefore I will make (Q)Samaria (R)a heap in the open country,
    a place for planting vineyards,
and I will pour down her stones (S)into the valley
    and (T)uncover her foundations.
All (U)her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
    (V)all her wages shall be burned with fire,
    and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from (W)the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
    and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.

(X)For this I will lament and wail;
    I will go (Y)stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation (Z)like the jackals,
    and mourning (AA)like the ostriches.
(AB)For her wound is incurable,
    and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
    to Jerusalem.

10 (AC)Tell it not in (AD)Gath;
    weep not at all;
in Beth-le-aphrah
    (AE)roll yourselves in the dust.
11 Pass on your way,
    inhabitants of Shaphir,
    (AF)in nakedness and shame;
the inhabitants of Zaanan
    do not come out;
the lamentation of Beth-ezel
    shall take away from you its standing place.
12 For the inhabitants of Maroth
    wait anxiously for good,
because disaster has come down (AG)from the Lord
    to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the steeds to the chariots,
    inhabitants of (AH)Lachish;
it was the beginning of sin
    to the daughter of Zion,
for in you were found
    (AI)the transgressions of Israel.
14 Therefore you shall give parting gifts[b]
    to (AJ)Moresheth-gath;
the houses of (AK)Achzib shall be a deceitful thing
    to the kings of Israel.
15 I will again bring (AL)a conqueror to you,
    inhabitants of (AM)Mareshah;
the glory of Israel
    shall come to (AN)Adullam.
16 (AO)Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair,
    for the children of your delight;
(AP)make yourselves as bald as the eagle,
    for they shall go from you into exile.
