New International Version

The Flying Scroll

5 I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.^(A)

²He asked me, “What do you see?”^(B)

I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.^[a]”

³And he said to me, “This is the curse^(C) that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief^(D) will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely^(E) will be banished. ⁴The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely^(F) by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.^(G)’”

Micah 1:1-9

New International Version

1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth^(A) during the reigns of Jotham,^(B) Ahaz^(C) and Hezekiah,^(D) kings of Judah^(E)—the vision^(F) he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

²Hear,^(G) you peoples, all of you,^(H)
listen, earth^(I) and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness^(J) against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.^(K)

Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem

³Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling^(L) place;
    he comes down^(M) and treads on the heights of the earth.^(N)
⁴The mountains melt^(O) beneath him^(P)
    and the valleys split apart,^(Q)
like wax before the fire,
    like water rushing down a slope.
⁵All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
    because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
    Is it not Samaria?^(R)
What is Judah’s high place?
    Is it not Jerusalem?

⁶“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
    a place for planting vineyards.^(S)
I will pour her stones^(T) into the valley
    and lay bare her foundations.^(U)
⁷All her idols^(V) will be broken to pieces;^(W)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.^(X)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,^(Y)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

⁸Because of this I will weep^(Z) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot^(AA) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.
⁹For Samaria’s plague^(AB) is incurable;^(AC)
    it has spread to Judah.^(AD)
It has reached the very gate^(AE) of my people,
    even to Jerusalem itself.

Isaiah 8:4-8

New International Version

⁴For before the boy knows^(A) how to say ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus^(B) and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.^(C)”

⁵The Lord spoke to me again:

⁶“Because this people has rejected^(D)
    the gently flowing waters of Shiloah^(E)
and rejoices over Rezin
    and the son of Remaliah,^(F)
⁷therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    the mighty floodwaters^(G) of the Euphrates—
    the king of Assyria^(H) with all his pomp.^(I)
It will overflow all its channels,
    run over all its banks^(J)
⁸and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,^(K)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings^(L) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel^[a]!”^(M)
