Micah 1:2-7
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Hear, O peoples, all of [a]you;
(A)Give heed, O earth, as well as its fullness,
And let Lord Yahweh be a (B)witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
3 For behold, Yahweh is (C)going forth from His place.
He will come down and (D)tread on the high places of the [b]earth.
4 (E)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the (F)transgression of Jacob?
Is it not (G)Samaria?
What is the (H)high [c]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6 So I will make Samaria a (I)heap of ruins in the field,
(J)Planting places for a vineyard.
And I will (K)pour her stones down into the valley
And will (L)lay bare her foundations.
7 And all of her (M)graven images will be smashed,
And all of her earnings will be burned with fire
And all of her idols I will make desolate,
For she collected them from a (N)harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
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.”
