katapi HOME Micah 1:2-9 - A lament for Samaria & Jerusalem.  Mic.1.2-91 2 Hear, you peoples, all of you;
hearken, O earth, and all that is in it;
and let Yahweh GOD be a witness against you,
Yahweh from his holy temple.
1 3 For behold,
Yahweh is coming forth out of his place,
and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
1 4 And the mountains will melt under him
and the valleys will be cleft,
like wax before the fire,
like waters poured down a steep place.
1 5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
and for the sins 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?
Is it not Jerusalem?
1 6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country,
a place for planting vineyards;
and I will pour down her stones into the valley,
and uncover her foundations.
1 7 All her images shall be beaten to pieces,
all her hires shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste;
for from the hire of a harlot she gathered them,
and to the hire of a harlot they shall return.

1 8 For this I will lament and wail;
I will go stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals,
and mourning like the ostriches.
1 9 For her wound is incurable;
and it has come to Judah,
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.
