Micah 1:2-7

Lexham English Bible

² Hear, all you peoples;
    give heed, O earth and its fullness.
And let the Lord Yahweh be against you as a witness,
    the Lord from his holy temple.^[a]
3 For behold, Yahweh is coming out from his place,
    and he will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
⁴ The mountains will melt under him
    and the valleys will burst open,
like wax before the fire,
    like water rushing down a slope.
⁵ All this is for the rebellion of Jacob,
    and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the rebellion of Jacob?
    Is it not Samaria?
And what are the high places of Judah?
    Are they not Jerusalem?
⁶ So I will make Samaria as a heap of rubble in the field,
    a place for planting a vineyard.
And I will pour down her stones into the valley
    and uncover her foundations.
⁷ Then all her idols will be broken in pieces,
    and all her prostitution wages will be burned in the fire,
    and all her idols I will make a desolation,
For from the wage of a prostitute she gathered them,
    and to the wage of a prostitute they will return.
