Micah 1:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 Look, the Lord is leaving his place(A)
and coming down to trample
the heights[a] of the earth.(B)
4 The mountains will melt beneath him,
and the valleys will split apart,
like wax near a fire,(C)
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?(D)
And what is the high place of Judah?(E)
Isn’t it Jerusalem?

Micah 1:3-5
New International Version
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(A) place;
he comes down(B) and treads on the heights of the earth.(C)
4 The mountains melt(D) beneath him(E)
and the valleys split apart,(F)
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?(G)
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?

Micah 1:3-5
King James Version
3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
