0 1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Iacob, for idolatry. 10 Hee exhorteth to mourning. I ¶ The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which hee saw concerning Samaria and Ierusalem. 2 [fn]Heare [fn]all ye people, hearken O earth, and [fn]all that therein is, and let the LORD God be witnesse against you, the LORD from his holy temple. 3 For behold, [fn]the LORD commeth forth out of his [fn]place, and will come downe and tread vpon the high places of the earth. 4 And [fn]the mountaines shall be molten vnder him, and the valleis shall be cleft: as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downe [fn]a steepe place. 5 For the transgression of Iacob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: What is the transgression of Iacob? Is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Iudah? are they not Ierusalem? 6 Therfore I will make Samaria as an heape of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard; and I will powre downe the stones therof into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof. 7 And all the grauen images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burnt with the fire, and all the idoles therof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the hire of an harlot. 8 Therfore I wil waile and houle, I will goe stript and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the [fn]owles. 9 For [fn]her wound is incurable, for it is come vnto Iudah: he is come vnto the gate of my people, euen to Ierusalem. 10 ¶ [fn]Declare yee it not at Gath, weepe yee not at all: In the house of [fn]Aphrah [fn]rowle thy selfe in the dust. 11 Passe yee away thou [fn]inhabitant of [fn]Saphir, hauing thy [fn]shame naked; the inhabitant of [fn]Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of [fn]Beth-ezel, he shall receiue of you his standing. 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth [fn]waited carefully for good, but euill came downe from the LORD vnto the gate of Ierusalem. 13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the charet to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. 14 Therfore shalt thou giue presents [fn]to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of [fn]Achzib shalbe a lie to ye kings of Israel. 15 Yet wil I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: [fn]he shall come vnto Adullam, the glory of Israel 16 Make thee [fn]bald, and polle thee for thy delicate children, enlarge thy baldnesse as the Eagle, for they are gone into captiuitie from thee.
