The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to MicahH4318 the MorasthiteH4183 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which he sawH2372 concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.
HearH8085, all ye peopleH5971; hearkenH7181, O earthH776, and all that thereinH4393 is: and let the LordH136 GODH3069 be witnessH5707 against you, the LordH136 from his holyH6944 templeH1964. {all ye…: Heb. ye people, all of them} {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh forthH3318 out of his placeH4725, and will come downH3381, and treadH1869 upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776.
And the mountainsH2022 shall be moltenH4549 under him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleftH1234, as waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, and as the watersH4325 that are pouredH5064 down a steep placeH4174. {a steep…: Heb. a descent}
For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the high placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389?
Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313 with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908 it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181, and they shall returnH7725 to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.
Therefore I will wailH5594 and howlH3213, I will goH3212 strippedH7758+H7758 and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}
For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. {her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}
DeclareH5046 ye it not at GathH1661, weepH1058 ye not at allH1058: in the house of AphrahH1036 rollH6428+H6428 thyself in the dustH6083. {Aphrah: that is, Dust}
Pass ye awayH5674, thou inhabitantH3427 of SaphirH8208, having thy shameH1322 nakedH6181: the inhabitantH3427 of ZaananH6630 came not forthH3318 in the mourningH4553 of BethezelH1018; he shall receiveH3947 of you his standingH5979. {thou…: or, thou that dwellest fairly} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {Zaanan: or, The country of flocks} {Bethezel: or, A place near}
For the inhabitantH3427 of MarothH4796 waited carefullyH2342 for goodH2896: but evilH7451 came downH3381 from the LORDH3068 unto the gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {waited…: or, was grieved}
O thou inhabitantH3427 of LachishH3923, bindH7573 the chariotH4818 to the swift beastH7409: she is the beginningH7225 of the sinH2403 to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 were foundH4672 in thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore shalt thou giveH5414 presentsH7964 to MoreshethgathH4182: the housesH1004 of AchzibH392 shall be a lieH391 to the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {to…: or, for Moreshethgath} {Achzib: that is, A lie}
Yet will I bringH935 an heirH3423 unto thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MareshahH4762: he shall comeH935 unto AdullamH5725 the gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {he…: or, the glory of Israel shall, etc}
Make thee baldH7139, and pollH1494 thee for thy delicateH8588 childrenH1121; enlargeH7337 thy baldnessH7144 as the eagleH5404; for they are gone into captivityH1540 from thee.

For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
For the sayingH1697 which he criedH7121 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, and against all the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which are in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, shall surely come to pass.
But he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
When I would have healedH7495 IsraelH3478, then the iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 was discoveredH1540, and the wickednessH7451 of SamariaH8111: for they commitH6466 falsehoodH8267; and the thiefH1590 cometh inH935, and the troopH1416 of robbers spoilethH6584 withoutH2351. {wickedness: Heb. evils} {spoileth: Heb. strippeth}
And he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
Thy calfH5695, O SamariaH8111, hath castH2186 thee off; mine angerH639 is kindledH2734 against them: how long will it be ereH3808 they attainH3201 to innocencyH5356?
And kingH4428 AhazH271 wentH3212 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7125 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 an altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834: and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the fashionH1823 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834: so UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834.
And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
Wherefore, when I cameH935, was there no manH376? when I calledH7121, was there none to answerH6030? Is my handH3027 shortenedH7114 at allH7114, that it cannot redeemH6304? or have I no powerH3581 to deliverH5337? behold, at my rebukeH1606 I dry upH2717 the seaH3220, I makeH7760 the riversH5104 a wildernessH4057: their fishH1710 stinkethH887, because there is no waterH4325, and diethH4191 for thirstH6772.
For from IsraelH3478 was it also: the workmanH2796 madeH6213 it; therefore it is not GodH430: but the calfH5695 of SamariaH8111 shall be broken in piecesH7616.
For he walked inH3212 the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and madeH6213 also molten imagesH4541 for BaalimH1168.
Moreover he burnt incenseH6999 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and burntH1197 his childrenH1121 in the fireH784, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {burnt…: or, offered sacrifice}
He sacrificedH2076 also and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
BeholdH2005, the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 is not shortenedH7114, that it cannot saveH3467; neither his earH241 heavyH3513, that it cannot hearH8085:
But your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914 betweenH996 you and your GodH430, and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641 his faceH6440 from you, that he will not hearH8085. {have hid: or, have made him hide}
For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351 with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696 liesH8267, your tongueH3956 hath mutteredH1897 perversenessH5766.
None callethH7121 for justiceH6664, nor any pleadethH8199 for truthH530: they trustH982 in vanityH8414, and speakH1696 liesH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 iniquityH205.
They hatchH1234 cockatrice'H6848 eggsH1000, and weaveH707 the spider'sH5908 webH6980: he that eatethH398 of their eggsH1000 diethH4191, and that which is crushedH2116 breaketh outH1234 into a viperH660. {cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed…: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}
Their websH6980 shall not become garmentsH899, neither shall they coverH3680 themselves with their worksH4639: their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquityH205, and the actH6467 of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709.
Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their pathsH4546. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
The wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045 not; and there is no judgmentH4941 in their goingsH4570: they have made them crookedH6140 pathsH5410: whosoever goethH1869 therein shall not knowH3045 peaceH7965. {judgment: or, right}
Therefore is judgmentH4941 farH7368 from us, neither doth justiceH6666 overtakeH5381 us: we waitH6960 for lightH216, but behold obscurityH2822; for brightnessH5054, but we walkH1980 in darknessH653.
We gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like the blindH5787, and we gropeH1659 as if we had no eyesH5869: we stumbleH3782 at noondayH6672 as in the nightH5399; we are in desolateH820 places as deadH4191 men.
We roarH1993 all like bearsH1677, and mournH1897 soreH1897 like dovesH3123: we lookH6960 for judgmentH4941, but there is none; for salvationH3444, but it is far offH7368 from us.
For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7231 before thee, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 against us: for our transgressionsH6588 are with us; and as for our iniquitiesH5771, we knowH3045 them;
In transgressingH6586 and lyingH3584 against the LORDH3068, and departing awayH5253 fromH310 our GodH430, speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267.
And judgmentH4941 is turned awayH5253 backwardH268, and justiceH6666 standethH5975 afar offH7350: for truthH571 is fallenH3782 in the streetH7339, and equityH5229 cannotH3201 enterH935.
Yea, truthH571 failethH5737; and he that departethH5493 from evilH7451 maketh himself a preyH7997: and the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, and it displeasedH3415+H5869 him that there was no judgmentH4941. {maketh…: or, is accounted mad} {it displeased…: Heb. it was evil in his eyes}
WoeH1945 to them that are at easeH7600 in ZionH6726, and trustH982 in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which are namedH5344 chiefH7225 of the nationsH1471, to whom the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 cameH935! {are at…: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}
For he sacrificedH2076 unto the godsH430 of DamascusH1834, which smoteH5221 him: and he saidH559, Because the godsH430 of the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758 helpH5826 them, therefore will I sacrificeH2076 to them, that they may helpH5826 me. But they were the ruinH3782 of him, and of all IsraelH3478. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
And AhazH271 gathered togetherH622 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and cut in piecesH7112 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and he madeH6213 him altarsH4196 in every cornerH6438 of JerusalemH3389.
And in every several cityH5892 of JudahH3063 he madeH6213 high placesH1116 to burn incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and provoked to angerH3707 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. {to burn: or, to offer}
Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 unto thine heartH3820.
Your iniquitiesH5771 have turned awayH5186 these things, and your sinsH2403 have withholdenH4513 goodH2896 things from you.
HearH8085, O earthH776: behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, even the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, because they have not hearkenedH7181 unto my wordsH1697, nor to my lawH8451, but rejectedH3988 it.
The crownH5850 is fallenH5307 from our headH7218: woeH188 unto us, that we have sinnedH2398! {The…: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}
