Micah 1:2-7
English Standard Version
The Coming Destruction
2 (A)Hear, you peoples, all of you;[a]
(B)pay attention, O earth, and all that is in it,
and (C)let the Lord God be a witness against you,
(D)the Lord from his holy temple.
3 For behold, (E)the Lord is coming out of (F)his place,
and will come down and (G)tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And (H)the mountains will melt under him,
and the valleys will split open,
like wax before the fire,
like waters poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for (I)the transgression of Jacob
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
(J)What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not (K)Samaria?
And what is (L)the high place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make (M)Samaria (N)a heap in the open country,
a place for planting vineyards,
and I will pour down her stones (O)into the valley
and (P)uncover her foundations.
7 All (Q)her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
(R)all her wages shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from (S)the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.

Micah 1:2-7

2 Hear,(A) you peoples, all of you,(B)
listen, earth(C) and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness(D) against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.(E)
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(F) place;
he comes down(G) and treads on the heights of the earth.(H)
4 The mountains melt(I) beneath him(J)
and the valleys split apart,(K)
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5 All 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?(L)
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.(M)
I will pour her stones(N) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(O)
7 All her idols(P) will be broken to pieces;(Q)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(R)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(S)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
