Micah 1:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 This is the prophetic message that the LORD gave to Micah of Moresheth. He delivered this message during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The prophecies pertain to Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Listen, all you nations! Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth! The sovereign LORD will testify against you; the LORD will accuse you from his majestic palace.
3 Look, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling place! He will descend and march on the earth's mountaintops!
4 The mountains will disintegrate beneath him, and the valleys will be split in two. The mountains will melt like wax in a fire, the rocks will slide down like water cascading down a steep slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob's rebellion and the sins of the nation of Israel. How has Jacob rebelled, you ask? Samaria epitomizes their rebellion! Where are Judah's pagan worship centers, you ask? They are right in Jerusalem!
6 "I will turn Samaria into a heap of ruins in an open field— vineyards will be planted there! I will tumble the rubble of her stone walls down into the valley, and tear down her fortifications to their foundations.
7 All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces; all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire. I will make a waste heap of all her images. Since she gathered the metal as a prostitute collects her wages, the idols will become a prostitute's wages again."
8 For this reason I will mourn and wail; I will walk around barefoot and without my outer garments. I will howl like a wild dog, and screech like an owl.
9 For Samaria's disease is incurable. It has infected Judah; it has spread to the leadership of my people and has even contaminated Jerusalem!
10 Don't spread the news in Gath! Don't shed even a single tear! In Beth Leaphrah sit in the dust!
11 Residents of Shaphir, pass by in nakedness and humiliation! The residents of Zaanan can't leave their city. Beth Ezel mourns, "He takes from you what he desires."
12 Indeed, the residents of Maroth hope for something good to happen, though the LORD has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.
13 Residents of Lachish, hitch the horses to the chariots! You influenced Daughter Zion to sin, for Israel's rebellious deeds can be traced back to you!
14 Therefore you will have to say farewell to Moresheth Gath. The residents of Achzib will be as disappointing as a dried up well to the kings of Israel.
15 Residents of Mareshah, a conqueror will attack you, the leaders of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
16 Shave your heads bald as you mourn for the children you love; shave your foreheads as bald as an eagle, for they are taken from you into exile.
1 The word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS that H834 RPRO came H1961 VQQ3MS to H413 PREP Micah H4318 the Morasthite H4183 in the days H3117 B-CMP of Jotham H3147 , Ahaz H271 , and Hezekiah H3169 , kings H4428 CMP of Judah H3063 , which H834 RPRO he saw H2372 concerning H5921 PREP Samaria H8111 and Jerusalem H3389 .

3 For H3588 CONJ , behold H2009 IJEC , the LORD H3068 EDS cometh forth H3318 VQPMS out of his place H4725 M-CMS-3MS , and will come down H3381 , and tread H1869 upon H5921 PREP the high places H1116 of the earth H776 GFS .
4 And the mountains H2022 shall be molten H4549 under H8478 PREP-3MS him , and the valleys H6010 shall be cleft H1234 , as wax H1749 before H6440 M-CMP the fire H784 , and as the waters H4325 K-NMP that are poured down H5064 a steep place H4174 .
5 For the transgression H6588 of Jacob H3290 is all H3605 NMS this H2063 DPRO , and for the sins H2403 of the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 . What H4310 W-IPRO is the transgression H6588 NMS of Jacob H3290 ? is it not H3808 D-NPAR Samaria H8111 ? and what H4310 W-IPRO are the high places H1116 of Judah H3063 ? are they not H3808 D-NPAR Jerusalem H3389 ?
6 Therefore I will make H7760 W-VQQ1MS Samaria H8111 as a heap H5856 of the field H7704 D-NMS , and as plantings H4302 of a vineyard H3754 : and I will pour down H5064 the stones H68 CFP-3FS thereof into the valley H1516 , and I will discover H1540 the foundations H3247 thereof .
7 And all H3605 W-CMS the graven images H6456 thereof shall be beaten to pieces H3807 VOY3MP , and all H3605 W-CMS the hires H868 thereof shall be burned H8313 with the fire H784 , and all H3605 W-CMS the idols H6091 thereof will I lay H7760 VQY1MS desolate H8077 : for H3588 CONJ she gathered H6908 it of the hire H868 of a harlot H2181 , and they shall return H7725 to H5704 W-PREP the hire H868 of a harlot H2181 .
8 Therefore H5921 PREP I will wail H5594 and howl H3213 , I will go H1980 stripped H7758 and naked H6174 : I will make H6213 a wailing H4553 like the dragons H8568 , and mourning H60 as the owls H1323 K-CFP .
9 For H3588 CONJ her wound H4347 is incurable H605 ; for H3588 CONJ it is come H935 unto H5704 PREP Judah H3063 ; he is come H5060 unto H5704 PREP the gate H8179 NMS of my people H5971 , even to H5704 PREP Jerusalem H3389 .
10 Declare H5046 ye it not H408 NPAR at Gath H1661 , weep ye not at all H1058 : in the house H1004 of Aphrah H1036 roll thyself H6428 in the dust H6083 NMS .
11 Pass ye away H5674 , thou inhabitant H3427 of Saphir H8208 , having thy shame H1322 NFS naked H6181 : the inhabitant H3427 of Zaanan H6630 came not forth in the mourning H4553 of Beth H1018 - ezel ; he shall receive H3947 of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you his standing H5979 .
12 For H3588 CONJ the inhabitant H3427 of Maroth H4796 waited carefully H2470 for good H2896 : but H3588 CONJ evil H7451 AMS came down H3381 VQQ3MS from the LORD H3068 EDS unto the gate H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 .
13 O thou inhabitant H3427 of Lachish H3923 , bind H7573 the chariot H4818 to the swift beast H7409 : she H1931 PPRO-3FS is the beginning H7225 CFS of the sin H2403 CFS to the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 : for H3588 CONJ the transgressions H6588 of Israel H3478 LMS were found H4672 in thee .
14 Therefore H3651 L-ADV shalt thou give H5414 presents H7964 to H5921 PREP Moresheth H4182 - gath : the houses H1004 of Achzib H392 shall be a lie H391 to the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 LMS .
15 Yet H5750 ADV will I bring H935 an heir H3423 unto thee , O inhabitant H3427 of Mareshah H4762 : he shall come H935 VQY3MS unto H5704 PREP Adullam H5725 the glory H3519 of Israel H3478 LMS .
16 Make thee bald H7139 , and poll H1494 thee for H5921 PREP thy delicate H8588 children H1121 ; enlarge H7337 thy baldness H7144 as the eagle H5404 ; for H3588 CONJ they are gone into captivity H1540 from H4480 thee .
