Micah 1:4-9 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft,––as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft,––as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place. ⁵ For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel,––Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem? ⁶ Therefore will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard,––and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare; ⁷ And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation,––for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
⁸ For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare,––I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches. ⁹ For dangerous are her wounds,––for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
