Micah 1:3-5
New Living Translation
3 Look! The Lord is coming!
He leaves his throne in heaven
and tramples the heights of the earth.
4 The mountains melt beneath his feet
and flow into the valleys
like wax in a fire,
like water pouring down a hill.
5 And why is this happening?
Because of the rebellion of Israel[a]—
yes, the sins of the whole nation.
Who is to blame for Israel’s rebellion?
Samaria, its capital city!
Where is the center of idolatry in Judah?
In Jerusalem, its capital!
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?
