1:1 This is the prophetic message that the Lord gave to
1:2 Listen, all you nations!
Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth!
The sovereign Lord will testify
the Lord will accuse you
1:3 Look,
He will descend and march on the earth’s mountaintops!
1:4 The mountains will disintegrate
and the valleys will be split in two.
The mountains will melt
the rocks will slide down like water cascading down a steep slope.
1:5 All this is because of Jacob’s rebellion
and
How has Jacob rebelled, you ask?
Samaria epitomizes their rebellion!
Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask?
They are right in Jerusalem!
