# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Micah 1:2-7 is about God's judgment on Samaria.
|
|
|
|
# Listen, all you peoples. Listen, earth, and all that is in you
|
|
|
|
This begins Micah's prophecy. Micah speaks to the people of Samaria as if all the people of the earth and even the earth itself were able to hear him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe]])
|
|
|
|
# he will come down and tread on the high places of the earth
|
|
|
|
Micah speaks as if Yahweh were a mighty soldier coming down from heaven and beginning to march on top of the mountains. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# he will ... tread
|
|
|
|
"he will ... march"
|
|
|
|
# the high places of the earth
|
|
|
|
"the high mountains"
|
|
|
|
# The mountains will melt under him; the valleys will break apart, like wax before fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place
|
|
|
|
Micah speaks as if Yahweh were a hot, solid object that melted the earth as it moved. AT: "He will crush the mountains and the valleys as he marches over them; he will destroy them, and they will completely disappear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
