Micah 1
|
|
| 1:1
The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of
Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria
and Jerusalem. |
 (1:3-4) God will come down to melt mountains and split valleys.
(1:3) "The LORD ... will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth."
(1:4) "The mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft."
 (1:6-7) God will destroy Samaria with stones, while smashing and burning their shrines and images.
(1:6) "I will make Samaria as an heap of the field ... and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley,
and I will discover the foundations thereof."
(1:7a) "All the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof
will I lay desolate."
 (1:7b) "For she gathered it of the hire of an
harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot."
(1:8) "I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons,
and mourning as the owls."

cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a
steep place.

of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what

a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones
thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.

hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will

return to the hire of an harlot.

and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the
