Micah 1:6-8
The Voice
6 And so I will turn Samaria into a pile of ruins in an open field.
To make her properly into a place to plant a vineyard,
I will roll her stones into the valley
and bare her foundations for all to see.
7 I will shatter her images and burn her immoral riches with fire,
and all her idols I will break down.
They came from the earning of prostitutes, servants of other gods,
and they will be used again to pay the wages of another prostitute.
8 Because of this, I will howl and wail;
this is why I will go barefoot and naked,
Why I will scream like the jackals
and screech like the ostriches as if in mourning.
Micah 1:6-8
New International Version
6 “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.(A)
I will pour her stones(B) into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.(C)
7 All her idols(D) will be broken to pieces;(E)
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.(F)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(G)
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
