1 I am Micah from Moresheth. And this is the message about Samaria and Jerusalem that the Lord gave to me when Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah.
2 Listen, all of you!Earth and everything on it,pay close attention.The Lord God accuses youfrom his holy temple.
3 And he will come downto crush underfootevery pagan altar.
4 Mountains will meltbeneath his feetlike wax beside a fire.Valleys will vanish like waterrushing down a ravine.
5 This will happen because ofthe terrible sins of Israel,the descendants of Jacob.Samaria has led Israel to sin,and pagan altars at Jerusalemhave made Judah sin.
