Micah 1:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ For lo, the Lord is coming out of his place,
    and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
⁴ Then the mountains will melt under him
    and the valleys will burst open,
like wax near 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 is the high place^[a] of Judah?
    Is it not Jerusalem?
