Micah 1:2-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Coming Judgment on Israel
2 Listen, all you peoples;(A)
pay attention, earth[a] and everyone in it!(B)
The Lord God will be a witness against you,(C)
the Lord, from His holy temple.(D)
3 Look, the Lord is leaving His place(E)
and coming down to trample
the heights[b] of the earth.(F)
4 The mountains will melt beneath Him,
and the valleys will split apart,
like wax near a fire,(G)
like water cascading down a mountainside.
5 All this will happen because of Jacob’s rebellion
and the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the rebellion of Jacob?
Isn’t it Samaria?(H)
And what is the high place of Judah?(I)
Isn’t it Jerusalem?
6 Therefore, I will make Samaria
a heap of ruins(J) in the countryside,
a planting area(K) for a vineyard.
I will roll her stones(L) into the valley
and expose her foundations.(M)
7 All her carved images will be smashed(N) to pieces;
all her wages(O) will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,(P)
they will be used again for a prostitute.

Micah 1:2-7
New International Version
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.”
