Micah 6:1--7:20

6:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye now what the LORD
<03068>

saith
<0559> (8802)_;

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

contend
<07378> (8798)

thou before the mountains
<02022>_,

and let the hills
<01389>

hear
<08085> (8799)

thy voice
<06963>_.

{before: or, with}

6:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye, O mountains
<02022>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

controversy
<07379>_,

and ye strong
<0386>

foundations
<04146>

of the earth
<0776>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath a controversy
<07379>

with his people
<05971>_,

and he will plead
<03198> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_.

6:3

O my people
<05971>_,

what have I done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee? and wherein have I wearied
<03811> (8689)

thee? testify
<06030> (8798)

against me.

6:4

For I brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and redeemed
<06299> (8804)

thee out of the house
<01004>

of servants
<05650>_;

and I sent
<07971> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee Moses
<04872>_,

Aaron
<0175>_,

and Miriam
<04813>_.

6:5

O my people
<05971>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

now what Balak
<01111>

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

consulted
<03289> (8804)_,

and what Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him from Shittim
<07851>

unto Gilgal
<01537>_;

that ye may know
<03045> (8800)

the righteousness
<06666>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

6:6

Wherewith shall I come before
<06923> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] bow
<03721> (8735)

myself before the high
<04791>

God
<0430>_?

shall I come before
<06923> (8762)

him with burnt offerings
<05930>_,

with calves
<05695>

of a year
<08141>

old
<01121>_?

{of a...: Heb. sons of a year?}

6:7

Will the LORD
<03068>

be pleased
<07521> (8799)

with thousands
<0505>

of rams
<0352>_,

[or] with ten thousands
<07233>

of rivers
<05158>

of oil
<08081>_?

shall I give
<05414> (8799)

my firstborn
<01060>

[for] my transgression
<06588>_,

the fruit
<06529>

of my body
<0990>

[for] the sin
<02403>

of my soul
<05315>_?

{body: Heb. belly}

6:8

He hath shewed
<05046> (8689)

thee, O man
<0120>_,

what [is] good
<02896>_;

and what doth the LORD
<03068>

require
<01875> (8802)

of thee, but to do
<06213> (8800)

justly
<04941>_,

and to love
<0160>

mercy
<02617>_,

and to walk
<03212> (8800)

humbly
<06800> (8687)

with thy God
<0430>_?

{walk...: Heb. humble thyself to walk}

6:9

The LORD'S
<03068>

voice
<06963>

crieth
<07121> (8799)

unto the city
<05892>_,

and [the man of] wisdom
<08454>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

thy name
<08034>_:

hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the rod
<04294>_,

and who hath appointed
<03259> (8804)

it. {the man...: or, thy name shall see that which is}

6:10

Are there
<0786>

yet the treasures
<0214>

of wickedness
<07562> (8676) <0376>

in the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

and the scant
<07332>

measure
<0374>

[that is] abominable
<02194> (8803)_?

{Are...: or, Is there yet unto every man an house of the, etc} {scant...: Heb. measure of leanness}

6:11

Shall I count [them] pure
<02135> (8799)

with the wicked
<07562>

balances
<03976>_,

and with the bag
<03599>

of deceitful
<04820>

weights
<068>_?

{count...: or, be pure with, etc}

6:12

For the rich men
<06223>

thereof are full
<04390> (8804)

of violence
<02555>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof have spoken
<01696> (8765)

lies
<08267>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

[is] deceitful
<07423>

in their mouth
<06310>_.

6:13

Therefore also will I make [thee] sick
<02470> (8689)

in smiting
<05221> (8687)

thee, in making [thee] desolate
<08074> (8687)

because of thy sins
<02403>_.

6:14

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)_,

but not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_;

and thy casting down
<03445>

[shall be] in the midst
<07130>

of thee; and thou shalt take hold
<05253> (8686)_,

but shalt not deliver
<06403> (8686)_;

and [that] which thou deliverest
<06403> (8762)

will I give up
<05414> (8799)

to the sword
<02719>_.

6:15

Thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)_,

but thou shalt not reap
<07114> (8799)_;

thou shalt tread
<01869> (8799)

the olives
<02132>_,

but thou shalt not anoint
<05480> (8799)

thee with oil
<08081>_;

and sweet wine
<08492>_,

but shalt not drink
<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>_.

6:16

For the statutes
<02708>

of Omri
<06018>

are kept
<08104> (8691)_,

and all the works
<04639>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and ye walk
<03212> (8799)

in their counsels
<04156>_;

that I should make
<05414> (8800)

thee a desolation
<08047>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof an hissing
<08322>_:

therefore ye shall bear
<05375> (8799)

the reproach
<02781>

of my people
<05971>_.

{For the...: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}

7:1

Woe
<0480>

is me! for I am as when they have gathered
<0625>

the summer fruits
<07019>_,

as the grapegleanings
<05955>

of the vintage
<01210>_:

[there is] no cluster
<0811>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_:

my soul
<05315>

desired
<0183> (8765)

the firstripe fruit
<01063>_.

{when...: Heb. the gatherings of summer}

7:2

The good
<02623>

[man] is perished
<06> (8804)

out of the earth
<0776>_:

and [there is] none upright
<03477>

among men
<0120>_:

they all lie in wait
<0693> (8799)

for blood
<01818>_;

they hunt
<06679> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

with a net
<02764>_.

{good: or, godly, or, merciful}

7:3

That they may do evil
<07451>

with both hands
<03709>

earnestly
<03190> (8687)_,

the prince
<08269>

asketh
<07592> (8802)_,

and the judge
<08199> (8802)

[asketh] for a reward
<07966>_;

and the great
<01419>

[man], he uttereth
<01696> (8802)

his mischievous
<01942>

desire
<05315>_:

so they wrap it up
<05686> (8762)_.

{his...: Heb. the mischief of his soul}

7:4

The best
<02896>

of them [is] as a brier
<02312>_:

the most upright
<03477>

[is sharper] than a thorn hedge
<04534>_:

the day
<03117>

of thy watchmen
<06822> (8764)

[and] thy visitation
<06486>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_;

now shall be their perplexity
<03998>_.

7:5

Trust
<0539> (8686)

ye not in a friend
<07453>_,

put ye not confidence
<0982> (8799)

in a guide
<0441>_:

keep
<08104> (8798)

the doors
<06607>

of thy mouth
<06310>

from her that lieth
<07901> (8802)

in thy bosom
<02436>_.

7:6

For the son
<01121>

dishonoureth
<05034> (8764)

the father
<01>_,

the daughter
<01323>

riseth up
<06965> (8801)

against her mother
<0517>_,

the daughter in law
<03618>

against her mother in law
<02545>_;

a man's
<0376>

enemies
<0341> (8802)

[are] the men
<0582>

of his own house
<01004>_.

7:7

Therefore I will look
<06822> (8762)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

I will wait
<03176> (8686)

for the God
<0430>

of my salvation
<03468>_:

my God
<0430>

will hear
<08085> (8799)

me.

7:8

Rejoice
<08055> (8799)

not against me, O mine enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

when I fall
<05307> (8804)_,

I shall arise
<06965> (8804)_;

when I sit
<03427> (8799)

in darkness
<02822>_,

the LORD
<03068>

[shall be] a light
<0216>

unto me.

7:9

I will bear
<05375> (8799)

the indignation
<02197>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

because I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against him, until he plead
<07378> (8799)

my cause
<07379>_,

and execute
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

for me: he will bring me forth
<03318> (8686)

to the light
<0216>_,

[and] I shall behold
<07200> (8799)

his righteousness
<06666>_.

7:10

Then [she that is] mine enemy
<0341> (8802)

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and shame
<0955>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

her which said
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Where is the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_?

mine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

her: now shall she be trodden down
<04823>

as the mire
<02916>

of the streets
<02351>_.

{Then...: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she...: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}

7:11

[In] the day
<03117>

that thy walls
<01447>

are to be built
<01129> (8800)_,

[in] that day
<03117>

shall the decree
<02706>

be far removed
<07368> (8799)_.

7:12

[In] that day
<03117>

[also] he shall come
<0935> (8799)

even to thee from Assyria
<0804>_,

and [from] the fortified
<04693>

cities
<05892>_,

and from the fortress
<04693>

even to the river
<05104>_,

and from sea
<03220>

to sea
<03220>_,

and [from] mountain
<02022>

to mountain
<02022>_.

{and [from] the fortified cities: or, even to the fortified cities}

7:13

Notwithstanding the land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<08077>

because of them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein, for the fruit
<06529>

of their doings
<04611>_.

{Notwithstanding: or, After that it hath been}

7:14

Feed
<07462> (8798)

thy people
<05971>

with thy rod
<07626>_,

the flock
<06629>

of thine heritage
<05159>_,

which dwell
<07931> (8802)

solitarily
<0910>

[in] the wood
<03293>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of Carmel
<03760>_:

let them feed
<07462> (8799)

[in] Bashan
<01316>

and Gilead
<01568>_,

as in the days
<03117>

of old
<05769>_.

{Feed: or, Rule}

7:15

According to the days
<03117>

of thy coming
<03318> (8800)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

will I shew
<07200> (8686)

unto him marvellous
<06381> (8737)

[things].

7:16

The nations
<01471>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

and be confounded
<0954> (8799)

at all their might
<01369>_:

they shall lay
<07760> (8799)

[their] hand
<03027>

upon [their] mouth
<06310>_,

their ears
<0241>

shall be deaf
<02790> (8799)_.

7:17

They shall lick
<03897> (8762)

the dust
<06083>

like a serpent
<05175>_,

they shall move
<07264> (8799)

out of their holes
<04526>

like worms
<02119> (8801)

of the earth
<0776>_:

they shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

and shall fear
<03372> (8799)

because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}

7:18

Who [is] a God
<0410>

like unto thee, that pardoneth
<05375> (8802)

iniquity
<05771>_,

and passeth by
<05674> (8802)

the transgression
<06588>

of the remnant
<07611>

of his heritage
<05159>_?

he retaineth
<02388> (8689)

not his anger
<0639>

for ever
<05703>_,

because he delighteth
<02654> (8804)

[in] mercy
<02617>_.

7:19

He will turn again
<07725> (8799)_,

he will have compassion
<07355> (8762)

upon us; he will subdue
<03533> (8799)

our iniquities
<05771>_;

and thou wilt cast
<07993> (8686)

all their sins
<02403>

into the depths
<04688>

of the sea
<03220>_.

7:20

Thou wilt perform
<05414> (8799)

the truth
<0571>

to Jacob
<03290>_,

[and] the mercy
<02617>

to Abraham
<085>_,

which thou hast sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto our fathers
<01>

from the days
<03117>

of old
<06924>_.
