\v 1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Listen, all you peoples.
|
|
\q Listen, earth, and all that is in you.
|
|
\q Let the Lord Yahweh be a witness against you,
|
|
\q the Lord from his holy temple.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Look, Yahweh comes out of his place;
|
|
\q he will come down and tread
|
|
\q on the high places on the earth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 The mountains will melt under him;
|
|
\q the valleys will break apart,
|
|
\q like wax before fire,
|
|
\q like waters that are poured down a steep place.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 All this is because of the rebellion of Jacob,
|
|
\q and because of the sins of the house of Israel.
|
|
\q What was the reason for Jacob's rebellion?
|
|
\q Was it not Samaria?
|
|
\q What was the reason for high places of Judah?
|
|
\q Was it not Jerusalem?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 "I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field,
|
|
\q like a place for planting vineyards.
|
|
\q I will pull her building stones into the valley;
|
|
\q I will uncover her foundations.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 All her carved figures will be crushed to pieces;
|
|
\q and all the gifts to her will be burned up.
|
|
\q All her idols I will make a ruin.
|
|
\q For from the gifts to her prostitution she gathered them,
|
|
\q and as a prostitute's pay they will return."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 For this reason I will lament and wail;
|
|
\q I will go barefoot and naked;
|
|
\q I will wail like the jackals
|
|
\q and mourn like owls.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 For her wound is incurable,
|
|
\q for it has come to Judah.
|
|
\q It has reached the gate of my people,
|
|
\q to Jerusalem.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Do not tell about it in Gath;
|
|
\q do not weep at all.
|
|
\q At Beth Leaphrah I roll myself in the dust.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Pass by, inhabitants of Shaphir,
|
|
\q in nakedness and shame.
|
|
\q The inhabitants of Zaanan do not come out.
|
|
\q Beth Ezel mourns,
|
|
\q for their protection is taken away.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 For the inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good news,
|
|
\q because disaster has come down from Yahweh
|
|
\q to the gates of Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses, inhabitants of Lachish.
|
|
\q You, Lachish, were the beginning of sin for the daughter of Zion,
|
|
\q for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 So you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath;
|
|
\q the town of Achzib will disappoint the kings of Israel.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 I will again bring a conqueror to you,
|
|
\q inhabitants of Mareshah;
|
|
\q the splendor of Israel will come to Adullam.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 Shave your head
|
|
\q and cut off your hair
|
|
\q for the children in whom you delight.
|
|
\q Make yourself as bald as eagles,
|
|
\q for your children will go into exile from you.
