Micah 1:5-7
International Standard Version
5 All this comes about due to the transgression of Jacob,
and due to the sins of the house of Israel.
What is Jacob’s sin? It’s Samaria, isn’t it?
And what’s Judah’s high place?[a] It’s Jerusalem, isn’t it?
6 “So I will turn Samaria into a mound of dirt in a field,
a place to plant vineyards.
And I will dump her building stones into the valley,
uncovering her foundation.
7 All of her carved images will be crushed to pieces,
all the earnings of her prostitution will be burned up,
and I will destroy all her idols;
because she collected the wages of prostitution,
and to the wages of prostitution they will return.”

Micah 1:5-7
New International Version
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?(A)
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.(B)
I will pour her stones(C) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(D)
7 All her idols(E) will be broken to pieces;(F)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(G)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(H)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
