Micah 1

1
1The word of the Lord that came to #(2 Pet. 1:21); Jer. 26:18Micah of Moresheth in the days of #2 Kin. 15:5, 7, 32–38; 2 Chr. 27:1–9; Is. 1:1; Hos. 1:1Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
The Coming Judgment on Israel
2Hear, all you peoples!
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from #(Ps. 11:4)His holy temple.
3For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place;
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
4#Amos 9:5The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the #Deut. 32:13; 33:29; Amos 4:13high places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
6“Therefore I will make Samaria #2 Kin. 19:25; Mic. 3:12a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will #Ezek. 13:14uncover her foundations.
7All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her #Hos. 2:5pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the #Deut. 23:18; Is. 23:17pay of a harlot.”
Mourning for Israel and Judah
8Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
#Ps. 102:6I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
9For her wounds are incurable.
For #2 Kin. 18:13; Is. 8:7, 8it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
10#2 Sam. 1:20Tell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all;
In Beth Aphrah
Roll yourself in the dust.
11Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir;
The inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
12For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good,
But #Is. 59:9–11; Jer. 14:19; Amos 3:6disaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13O inhabitant of #Josh. 10:3; 2 Kin. 14:19; 18:14; Is. 36:2Lachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were #Ezek. 23:11found in you.
14Therefore you shall #2 Sam. 8:2give presents to Moresheth Gath;
The houses of #Josh. 15:44Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of #Josh. 15:44Mareshah;
The glory of Israel shall come to #2 Chr. 11:7Adullam.
16Make yourself #Job 1:20bald and cut off your hair,
Because of your #Lam. 4:5precious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into #2 Kin. 17:6; Amos 7:11, 17; (Mic. 4:10)captivity.
