{Micah 1:1} The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:2} Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:3} For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:4} And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:5} For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not Jerusalem? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:6} Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:7} And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:8} Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:9} For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:10} Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:11} Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:12} For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:13} O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:14} Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth- gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:15} Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 1:16} Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
