MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-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?
MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-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.
MIC-1:10 Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all:in the
house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
MIC-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.
MIC-1:12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good:
but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
MIC-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.
MIC-1:14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath:
the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
MIC-1:15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of
Mareshah:he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
MIC-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.
*MIC-2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon
their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because
it is in the power of their hand.
MIC-2:2 And they covet fields, and take [them] by violence; and
houses, and take [them] away:so they oppress a man and his house,
even a man and his heritage.
MIC-2:3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this
family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your
necks; neither shall ye go haughtily:for this time [is] evil.
MIC-2:4 In that day shall [one] take up a parable against you,
and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We be utterly
spoiled:he hath changed the portion of my people:how hath he
removed [it] from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
MIC-2:5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord
by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
MIC-2:6 Prophesy ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy:they
shall not prophesy to them, [that] they shall not take shame.
MIC-2:7 O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the
spirit of the LORD straitened? [are] these his doings? do not my
words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
MIC-2:8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy:ye pull
off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as
men averse from war.
MIC-2:9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their
pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory
for ever.
MIC-2:10 Arise ye, and depart; for this [is] not [your] rest:
because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a sore
destruction.
MIC-2:11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie,
[saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink;
he shall even be the prophet of this people.
MIC-2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will
surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as
the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold:
they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
MIC-2:13 The breaker is come up before them:they have broken up,
and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it:and
their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of
them.
*MIC-3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye
princes of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know
judgment?
MIC-3:2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off
their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
MIC-3:3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their
skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in
pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
MIC-3:4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear
them:he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they
have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
MIC-3:5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make
my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and
he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war
against him.
MIC-3:6 Therefore night [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not
have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not
divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day
shall be dark over them.
MIC-3:7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners
confounded:yea, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is]
no answer of God.
MIC-3:8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD,
and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his
transgression, and to Israel his sin.
MIC-3:9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob,
and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and
pervert all equity.
MIC-3:10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with
iniquity.
MIC-3:11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests
thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for
money:yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the
LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
MIC-3:12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a
field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the
house as the high places of the forest.
*MIC-4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the
mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the
top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills;
