Micah 1:3-5
Common English Bible
3 Look! The Lord is coming out from his place;
he will go down and tread on the shrines of the earth.
4 Then the mountains will melt under him;
the valleys will split apart,
like wax yielding to the fire,
like waters poured down a slope.
5 All this is for the crime of Jacob
and the sins of the house of Israel.
Who is responsible for the crime of Jacob?[a]
Isn’t it Samaria?
Who is responsible for[b] the shrines of Judah?
Isn’t it Jerusalem?

New International Version
Micah 1:3-5
New International Version
Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(A) place;
he comes down(B) and treads on the heights of the earth.(C)
4 The mountains melt(D) beneath him(E)
and the valleys split apart,(F)
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
Is it not Samaria?(G)
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?
