Dual Panel1The word<1697> of the LORD<3068> which<834> came<1961> to Micah<4318> of Moresheth<4183> in the days<3117> of Jotham<3147>, Ahaz<271> and Hezekiah<2396>, kings<4428> of Judah<3063>, which<834> he saw<2372> concerning<5921> Samaria<8111> and Jerusalem<3389>.
2Hear<8085>, O peoples<5971>, all<3605> of you; Listen<7181>, O earth<776> and all<4393> it contains<4393>, And let the Lord<136> GOD<3068> be a witness<5707> against you, The Lord<136> from His holy<6944> temple<1964>.
3For behold<2009>, the LORD<3068> is coming<3318> forth<3318> from His place<4725>. He will come<3381> down<3381> and tread<1869> on the high<1116> places<1116> of the earth<776>.
4The mountains<2022> will melt<4549> under<8478> Him And the valleys<6010> will be split<1234>, Like wax<1749> before<4480><6440> the fire<784>, Like water<4325> poured<5064> down<5064> a steep<4174> place<4174>.
5All<3605> this<2088> is for the rebellion<6588> of Jacob<3290> And for the sins<2403> of the house<1004> of Israel<3478>. What<4310> is the rebellion<6588> of Jacob<3290>? Is it not Samaria<8111>? What<4310> is the high<1116> place<1116> of Judah<3063>? Is it not Jerusalem<3389>?
6For I will make<7760> Samaria<8111> a heap<5856> of ruins<5856> in the open country<7704>, Planting<4302> places<4302> for a vineyard<3754>. I will pour<5064> her stones<68> down<5064> into the valley<1516> And will lay<1540> bare<1540> her foundations<3247>.
7All<3605> of her idols<6456> will be smashed<3807>, All<3605> of her earnings<868> will be burned<8313> with fire<784> And all<3605> of her images<6091> I will make<7760> desolate<8077>, For she collected<6908> them from a harlot's<2181> earnings<868>, And to the earnings<868> of a harlot<2181> they will return<7725>.
8Because<5921> of this<2088> I must lament<5594> and wail<3213>, I must go<1980> barefoot<7758> and naked<6174>; I must make<6213> a lament<4553> like the jackals<8565> And a mourning<60> like the ostriches<3284>.
9For her wound<4347> is incurable<605>, For it has come<935> to Judah<3063>; It has reached<5060> the gate<8179> of my people<5971>, Even to Jerusalem<3389>.
10Tell<5046> it not in Gath<1661>, Weep<1058> not at all<1058>. At Beth-le-aphrah<1036> roll<6428> yourself in the dust<6083>.
11Go<5674> on your way<5674>, inhabitant<3427> of Shaphir<8208>, in shameful<1322> nakedness<6181>. The inhabitant<3427> of Zaanan<6630> does not escape<3318>. The lamentation<4553> of Beth-ezel<1018>: "He will take<3947> from you its support<5979>."
12For the inhabitant<3427> of Maroth<4796> Becomes<2342> weak<2470> waiting<2342> for good<2896>, Because<3588> a calamity<7451> has come<3381> down<3381> from the LORD<3068> To the gate<8179> of Jerusalem<3389>.
13Harness<7573> the chariot<4818> to the team of horses<7409>, O inhabitant<3427> of Lachish<3923>-- She was the beginning<7225> of sin<2403> To the daughter<1323> of Zion<6726>-- Because<3588> in you were found<4672> The rebellious<6588> acts<6588> of Israel<3478>.
14Therefore<3651> you will give<5414> parting<7964> gifts<7964> On behalf<5921> of Moresheth-gath<4182>; The houses<1004> of Achzib<392> will become a deception<391> To the kings<4428> of Israel<3478>.
15Moreover<5750>, I will bring<935> on you The one who takes<3423> possession<3423>, O inhabitant<3427> of Mareshah<4762>. The glory<3519> of Israel<3478> will enter<935> Adullam<5725>.
16Make<7139> yourself bald<7139> and cut<1494> off<1494> your hair<1494>, Because<3588> of the children<1121> of your delight<8588>; Extend<7337> your baldness<7144> like the eagle<5404>, For they will go<1540> from you into exile<1540>.
