to°
Micah°
the Morasthite°

Hear [these] words, ye people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation. |

Hear,°°
all°
ye people;°
hearken,°°
O earth,°
and all that therein°
is:°
and let Adonai°
Yahweh°
be°
witness°
against you, Yahweh°
from his holy°
temple.°° |

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.° |
|
1:5
All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Judah{gr.Juda}? [is it] not Jerusalem? |
|
1:5
For the transgression°
of Jacob°
[is] all°
this,°
and for the sins°
of the house°
of Israel.°
What°
[is] the transgression°

[are they] not°
Jerusalem?° |

Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations. |
|
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. |
|
1:7
And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth]. |
|
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.°° |
|
1:8
Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens. |
|

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.°° |
|

unto°
Judah;°
he is come°°
unto°
the gate°
of my people,°
[even] to°
Jerusalem.° |

1:10 ¶
Ye that are in Gath{gr.Geth}, exalt not yourselves, and ye Anakim{gr.Enakim}, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter. |
|

Declare°°
ye [it] not°
at Gath,°
weep°°
ye not at all:°°°
in the house°
of Aphrah°
roll°°°°
thyself°
in the dust.° |
|
1:11
The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief. |

1:11
Pass ye away,°°
thou inhabitant°°
of Saphir,°
having thy shame°
naked:°
the inhabitant°°
of Zaanan°
came not forth°°°
in the mourning°
of Bethezel;°
he shall receive°°
of°
you his standing.° |
|
1:12
Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem, |

for good:°
but°
evil°
came down°°

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. |
|
1:14
Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Gath{gr.Geth}, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel; |

presents°
to°
Moreshethgath:°
the houses°
of Achzib°
[shall be] a lie°
to the kings°
of Israel.° |
|
1:15
until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachish{gr.Lachis}: the inheritance shall reach to Adullam{gr.Odollam}, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel. |

Yet°
will I bring°°
an heir°°
unto thee, O inhabitant°°
of Mareshah:°
he shall come°°
unto°
Adullam°
the glory°
of Israel.° |

for°
they are gone into captivity°°
from°
thee. |
