==== <MIC1>

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.

==== <MIC2>

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.

==== <MIC3>

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.

==== <MIC4>

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; and people shall flow unto it.

MIC-4:2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us

go up to the

mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and

he will teach

us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall

go forth of

Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

MIC-4:3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong

nations afar

off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their

spears into

pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,

neither shall

they learn war any more.

MIC-4:4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under

his fig tree;

and none shall make [them] afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of

hosts hath

spoken [it].

MIC-4:5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his

god, and we

will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

MIC-4:6 In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that

halteth, and I

will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have

afflicted;

MIC-4:7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that

was cast far

off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount

Zion from

henceforth, even for ever.

MIC-4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the

daughter of

Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the

kingdom shall come

to the daughter of Jerusalem.

MIC-4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? [is there] no king in

thee? is thy

counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in

travail.

MIC-4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of

Zion, like a

woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city,

and thou shalt

dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there

shalt thou be

delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of

thine enemies.

MIC-4:11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that

say, Let her

be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

MIC-4:12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither

understand they

his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the

floor.

MIC-4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make

thine horn

iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in

pieces many

people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and

their substance

unto the Lord of the whole earth.

==== <MIC5>

MIC-5:1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he

hath laid

siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a

rod upon the

cheek.

MIC-5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little

among the

thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto

me [that is] to

be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old,

from

everlasting.

MIC-5:3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time [that]

she which

travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren

shall return

unto the children of Israel.

MIC-5:4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD,

in the

majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide:

for now shall

he be great unto the ends of the earth.

MIC-5:5 And this [man] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian

shall come into

our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we

raise against

him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

MIC-5:6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,

and the land

of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver [us]

from the

Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth

within our

borders.

MIC-5:7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many

people as a

dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth

not for man,

nor waiteth for the sons of men.

MIC-5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in

the midst of

many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young

lion among

the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down,

and teareth in

pieces, and none can deliver.

MIC-5:9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries,

and all thine

enemies shall be cut off.

MIC-5:10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD,

that I will

cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy

thy chariots:

MIC-5:11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw

down all thy

strong holds:

MIC-5:12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and

thou shalt

have no [more] soothsayers:

MIC-5:13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy

standing images out

of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of

thine hands.

MIC-5:14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of

thee: so will I

destroy thy cities.

MIC-5:15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon

the heathen,

such as they have not heard.

==== <MIC6>

MIC-6:1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou

before the

mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

MIC-6:2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye

strong

foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with

his people, and

he will plead with Israel.

MIC-6:3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein

have I wearied

thee? testify against me.

MIC-6:4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and

redeemed thee out

of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron,

and Miriam.

MIC-6:5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab

consulted, and what

Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal;

that ye may know

the righteousness of the LORD.

MIC-6:6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, [and] bow

myself before the

high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with

calves of a year

old?

MIC-6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or]

with ten

thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn [for] my

transgression,

the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?

MIC-6:8 He hath showed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what

doth the LORD

require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to

walk humbly with

thy God?

MIC-6:9 The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and [the man of]

wisdom shall

see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

MIC-6:10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house

of the

wicked, and the scant measure [that is] abominable?

MIC-6:11 Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances,

and with the bag

of deceitful weights?

MIC-6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the

inhabitants

thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in

their mouth.

MIC-6:13 Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee,

in making

[thee] desolate because of thy sins.

MIC-6:14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting

down [shall

be] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt

not deliver; and

[that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

MIC-6:15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt

tread the

olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine,

but shalt not

drink wine.

MIC-6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works

of the house of

Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a

desolation, and

the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the

reproach of my

people.

==== <MIC7>

MIC-7:1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the

summer fruits, as

the grapegleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat:

my soul

desired the firstripe fruit.

MIC-7:2 The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there

is] none

upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt

every man his

brother with a net.

MIC-7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the

prince asketh,

and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he

uttereth his

mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

MIC-7:4 The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is

sharper] than

a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation

cometh; now shall

be their perplexity.

MIC-7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a

guide: keep the

doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

MIC-7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter

riseth up against

her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a

man's enemies

[are] the men of his own house.

MIC-7:7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for

the God of my

salvation: my God will hear me.

MIC-7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I

shall arise;

when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.

MIC-7:9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have

sinned

against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for

me: he will

bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his

righteousness.

MIC-7:10 Then [she that is] mine enemy shall see [it], and

shame shall cover

her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes

shall behold her:

now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

MIC-7:11 [In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that

day shall the

decree be far removed.

MIC-7:12 [In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from

Assyria, and

[from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the

river, and from

sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.

MIC-7:13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of

them that

dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

MIC-7:14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine

heritage, which

dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them

feed [in]

Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

MIC-7:15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of

Egypt will I

show unto him marvellous [things].

MIC-7:16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their

might: they

shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be

deaf.

MIC-7:17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall

move out of

their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the

LORD our God,

and shall fear because of thee.

MIC-7:18 Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,

and passeth

by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he

retaineth not his

anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.

MIC-7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us;

he will subdue

our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the

depths of the sea.

MIC-7:20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy

to Abraham,

which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
