The Book of Micah

1. The word of The Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.  (Jer. 26:18;   Is. 1:1)
2. Hear, all you peoples!  Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!  Let the Lord God be a witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.  (Ps. 11:4)
3. For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4. The mountains will melt under Him, and the valleys will split like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.  (Ps. 68:2;   Amos 9:5)
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 are the high places of Judah?  (Deut. 32:13)  Are they not Jerusalem?
   
6. "Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field, places for planting a vineyard;  (2 Kin. 19:25)  I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will uncover her foundations.  (Ezek. 13:14)
   
7. All her Carved images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire; all her idols I will lay desolate,  (Hos. 2:5)  for she gathered it from the pay of a harlot, and they shall return to the pay of a harlot."  (Deut. 23:18)
   
8. Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals and a mourning like the ostriches  (Job 30:29;   Ps. 102:6)

12. "I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; (Micah 4:6&7) I will put them together like sheep of the fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture; (Jer. 31:10) they shall make a loud noise because of so many men.

8. But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgressions  (Isaiah 58:1)  and to Israel his sin.
9. Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert all equity,
   
12. Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed like a field, (Jer. 26:18) Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,  (Psalm 79:1) and the mountain of the temple like the bare hills of the forest.  (Micah 4:1&2)

7. I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation; (Micah 2:12) So the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion (Is. 9:6) from now on, even forever.  (John 12:34)

1. Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; He has laid siege against us; they will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.  (Lam. 3:30)
2. "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,  (John 2:4-7;   John 7:42)  though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be ruler in Israel,  (Ex. 18:25;   1 Sam. 23:23;   Is. 9:6)  whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."  (Ps. 90:2)
3. Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labour has given birth; then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel.  (Mic. 4:7;   Mic. 4:10;   Mic. 4:7-13)
   
9. Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.  (Ps. 10:12)
10. "And it shall be in that day," says the Lord, "that I will cut off your horses from your midst and destroy your chariots.
