1:1 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.
1:2 Heare
all
ye
people,
hearken
O
earth,
and
all
that
therein
is,
and
let
the
Lord
God
be
witnesse
against
you,
the
Lord
from
his
holy
temple.
1:3 For
behold,
the
Lord
commeth
forth
out
of
his
place,
and
will
come
downe
and
tread
vpon
the
high
places
of
the
earth.
1:4 And
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
a
steepe
place.
1:5 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
1:6 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.
1:7 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.
1:8 Therfore
I
wil
waile
and
houle,
I
will
goe
stript
and
naked:
I
will
make
a
wailing
like
the
dragons,
and
mourning
as
the
owles.
1:9 For
her
wound
is
incurable,
for
it
is
come
vnto
Iudah:
he
is
come
vnto
the
gate
of
my
people,
euen
to
Ierusalem.
1:10 Declare
yee
it
not
at
Gath,
weepe
yee
not
at
all:
In
the
house
of
Aphrah
rowle
thy
selfe
in
the
dust.
1:11 Passe
yee
away
thou
inhabitant
of
Saphir,
hauing
thy
shame
naked;
the
inhabitant
of
Zaanan
came
not
forth
in
the
mourning
of
Beth-ezel,
he
shall
receiue
of
you
his
standing.
1:12 For
the
inhabitant
of
Maroth
waited
carefully
for
good,
but
euill
came
downe
from
the
Lord
vnto
the
gate
of
Ierusalem.
1:13 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.
1:14 Therfore
shalt
thou
giue
presents
to
Moresheth-Gath:
the
houses
of
Achzib
shalbe
a
lie
to
ye
kings
of
Israel.
1:15 Yet
wil
I
bring
an
heire
vnto
thee,
O
inhabitant
of
Mareshah:
he
shall
come
vnto
Adullam,
the
glory
of
Israel
1:16 Make
thee
bald,
and
polle
thee
for
thy
delicate
children,
enlarge
thy
baldnesse
as
the
Eagle,
for
they
are
gone
into
captiuitie
from
thee.
