Micah 1:1-14

1:1

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

that came to Micah
<04318>

the Morasthite
<04183>

in the days
<03117>

of Jotham
<03147>_,

Ahaz
<0271>_,

[and] Hezekiah
<03169>_,

kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which he saw
<02372> (8804)

concerning Samaria
<08111>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

1:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

all ye people
<05971>_;

hearken
<07181> (8685)_,

O earth
<0776>_,

and all that therein
<04393>

is: and let the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

be witness
<05707>

against you, the Lord
<0136>

from his holy
<06944>

temple
<01964>_.

{all ye...: Heb. ye people, all of them} {all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}

1:3

For, behold, the LORD
<03068>

cometh forth
<03318> (8802)

out of his place
<04725>_,

and will come down
<03381> (8804)_,

and tread
<01869> (8804)

upon the high places
<01116>

of the earth
<0776>_.

1:4

And the mountains
<02022>

shall be molten
<04549> (8738)

under him, and the valleys
<06010>

shall be cleft
<01234> (8691)_,

as wax
<01749>

before
<06440>

the fire
<0784>_,

[and] as the waters
<04325>

[that are] poured
<05064> (8716)

down a steep place
<04174>_.

{a steep...: Heb. a descent}

1:5

For the transgression
<06588>

of Jacob
<03290>

[is] all this, and for the sins
<02403>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

What [is] the transgression
<06588>

of Jacob
<03290>_?

[is it] not Samaria
<08111>_?

and what [are] the high places
<01116>

of Judah
<03063>_?

[are they] not Jerusalem
<03389>_?

1:6

Therefore I will make
<07760> (8804)

Samaria
<08111>

as an heap
<05856>

of the field
<07704>_,

[and] as plantings
<04302>

of a vineyard
<03754>_:

and I will pour down
<05064> (8689)

the stones
<068>

thereof into the valley
<01516>_,

and I will discover
<01540> (8762)

the foundations
<03247>

thereof.

1:7

And all the graven images
<06456>

thereof shall be beaten to pieces
<03807> (8714)_,

and all the hires
<0868>

thereof shall be burned
<08313> (8735)

with the fire
<0784>_,

and all the idols
<06091>

thereof will I lay
<07760> (8799)

desolate
<08077>_:

for she gathered
<06908> (8765)

[it] of the hire
<0868>

of an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

and they shall return
<07725> (8799)

to the hire
<0868>

of an harlot
<02181> (8802)_.

1:8

Therefore I will wail
<05594> (8799)

and howl
<03213> (8686)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)

stripped
<07758> (8675) <07758>

and naked
<06174>_:

I will make
<06213> (8799)

a wailing
<04553>

like the dragons
<08577>_,

and mourning
<060>

as the owls
<01323> <03284>_.

{owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}

1:9

For her wound
<04347>

[is] incurable
<0605> (8803)_;

for it is come
<0935> (8804)

unto Judah
<03063>_;

he is come
<05060> (8804)

unto the gate
<08179>

of my people
<05971>_,

[even] to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{her...: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}

1:10

Declare
<05046> (8686)

ye [it] not at Gath
<01661>_,

weep
<01058> (8799)

ye not at all
<01058> (8800)_:

in the house of Aphrah
<01036>

roll
<06428> (8690) (8675) <06428> (8694)

thyself in the dust
<06083>_.

{Aphrah: that is, Dust}

1:11

Pass ye away
<05674> (8798)_,

thou inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Saphir
<08208>_,

having thy shame
<01322>

naked
<06181>_:

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Zaanan
<06630>

came not forth
<03318> (8804)

in the mourning
<04553>

of Bethezel
<01018>_;

he shall receive
<03947> (8799)

of you his standing
<05979>_.

{thou...: or, thou that dwellest fairly} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {Zaanan: or, The country of flocks} {Bethezel: or, A place near}

1:12

For the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Maroth
<04796>

waited carefully
<02342> (8804)

for good
<02896>_:

but evil
<07451>

came down
<03381> (8804)

from the LORD
<03068>

unto the gate
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {waited...: or, was grieved}

1:13

O thou inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Lachish
<03923>_,

bind
<07573> (8798)

the chariot
<04818>

to the swift beast
<07409>_:

she [is] the beginning
<07225>

of the sin
<02403>

to the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_:

for the transgressions
<06588>

of Israel
<03478>

were found
<04672> (8738)

in thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

1:14

Therefore shalt thou give
<05414> (8799)

presents
<07964>

to Moreshethgath
<04182>_:

the houses
<01004>

of Achzib
<0392>

[shall be] a lie
<0391>

to the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{to...: or, for Moreshethgath} {Achzib: that is, A lie}
