Micah 1:2-5
New King James Version
The Coming Judgment on Israel
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 (A)His holy temple.
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 (B)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
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 (C)high places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
Micah 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 Hear, you peoples, all of [a]you;
(A)Listen carefully, earth and [b]all it contains,
And may the Lord [c]God be a (B)witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
3 For behold, the Lord is (C)coming forth from His place.
He will come down and (D)tread on the high places of the [d]earth.
4 (E)The mountains will melt under Him
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
5 All this is due to the [e]wrongdoing of Jacob
And the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the [f](F)wrongdoing of Jacob?
Is it not (G)Samaria?
What is the (H)high [g]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
Micah 1:2-5
King James Version
2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, 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? are they not Jerusalem?
