Micah 1:2--2:13

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}

1:15

Yet will I bring
<0935> (8686)

an heir
<03423> (8802)

unto thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Mareshah
<04762>_:

he shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto Adullam
<05725>

the glory
<03519>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {he...: or, the glory of Israel shall, etc}

1:16

Make thee bald
<07139> (8798)_,

and poll
<01494> (8798)

thee for thy delicate
<08588>

children
<01121>_;

enlarge
<07337> (8685)

thy baldness
<07144>

as the eagle
<05404>_;

for they are gone into captivity
<01540> (8804)

from thee.

2:1

Woe
<01945>

to them that devise
<02803> (8802)

iniquity
<0205>_,

and work
<06466> (8802)

evil
<07451>

upon their beds
<04904>_!

when the morning
<01242>

is light
<0216>_,

they practise
<06213> (8799)

it, because it is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of their hand
<03027>_.

2:2

And they covet
<02530> (8804)

fields
<07704>_,

and take [them] by violence
<01497> (8804)_;

and houses
<01004>_,

and take [them] away
<05375> (8804)_:

so they oppress
<06231> (8804)

a man
<01397>

and his house
<01004>_,

even a man
<0376>

and his heritage
<05159>_.

{oppress: or, defraud}

2:3

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, against this family
<04940>

do I devise
<02803> (8802)

an evil
<07451>_,

from which ye shall not remove
<04185> (8686)

your necks
<06677>_;

neither shall ye go
<03212> (8799)

haughtily
<07317>_:

for this time
<06256>

[is] evil
<07451>_.

2:4

In that day
<03117>

shall [one] take up
<05375> (8799)

a parable
<04912>

against you, and lament
<05091> (8804)

with a doleful
<05093>

lamentation
<05092>_,

[and] say
<0559> (8804)_,

We be utterly
<07703> (8800)

spoiled
<07703> (8738)_:

he hath changed
<04171> (8686)

the portion
<02506>

of my people
<05971>_:

how hath he removed
<04185> (8686)

[it] from me! turning away
<07725> (8788)

he hath divided
<02505> (8762)

our fields
<07704>_.

{a doleful...: Heb. a lamentation of lamentations} {turning...: or, instead of restoring}

2:5

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast
<07993> (8688)

a cord
<02256>

by lot
<01486>

in the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

2:6

Prophesy
<05197> (8686)

ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy
<05197> (8686)_:

they shall not prophesy
<05197> (8686)

to them, [that] they shall not take
<05253> (8799)

shame
<03639>_.

{Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}

2:7

O [thou that art] named
<0559> (8803)

the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

is the spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

straitened
<07114> (8804)_?

[are] these his doings
<04611>_?

do not my words
<01697>

do good
<03190> (8686)

to him that walketh
<01980> (8802)

uprightly
<03477>_?

{straitened: or, shortened?} {uprightly: Heb. upright?}

2:8

Even of late
<0865>

my people
<05971>

is risen up
<06965> (8787)

as an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

ye pull off
<06584> (8686)

the robe
<0145>

with
<04136>

the garment
<08008>

from them that pass
<05674> (8802)

by securely
<0983>

as men averse
<07725> (8803)

from war
<04421>_.

{of late: Heb. yesterday} {with the: Heb. over against a}

2:9

The women
<0802>

of my people
<05971>

have ye cast out
<01644> (8762)

from their pleasant
<08588>

houses
<01004>_;

from their children
<05768>

have ye taken away
<03947> (8799)

my glory
<01926>

for ever
<05769>_.

{women: or, wives}

2:10

Arise
<06965> (8798)

ye, and depart
<03212> (8798)_;

for this [is] not [your] rest
<04496>_:

because it is polluted
<02930> (8800)_,

it shall destroy
<02254> (8762)

[you], even with a sore
<04834> (8737)

destruction
<02256>_.

2:11

If
<03863>

a man
<0376>

walking
<01980> (8802)

in the spirit
<07307>

and falsehood
<08267>

do lie
<03576> (8765)_,

[saying], I will prophesy
<05197> (8686)

unto thee of wine
<03196>

and of strong drink
<07941>_;

he shall even be the prophet
<05197> (8688)

of this people
<05971>_.

{walking...: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}

2:12

I will surely
<0622> (8800)

assemble
<0622> (8799)_,

O Jacob
<03290>_,

all of thee; I will surely
<06908> (8763)

gather
<06908> (8762)

the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I will put
<07760> (8799)

them together
<03162>

as the sheep
<06629>

of Bozrah
<01223> (8677) <01224>_,

as the flock
<05739>

in the midst
<08432>

of their fold
<01699>_:

they shall make great noise
<01949> (8686)

by reason of [the multitude of] men
<0120>_.

2:13

The breaker
<06555> (8802)

is come up
<05927> (8804)

before
<06440>

them: they have broken up
<06555> (8804)_,

and have passed through
<05674> (8799)

the gate
<08179>_,

and are gone out
<03318> (8799)

by it: and their king
<04428>

shall pass
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

them, and the LORD
<03068>

on the head
<07218>

of them.
