CHAP. I. 1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Iacob, for idolatry. 10 Hee exhorteth to mourning.

1   
The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which hee saw concerning Samaria and Ierusalem.

2   
noteHeare note all ye people, hearken O earth, and note all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witnesse against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

3   
For behold, note the Lord commeth forth out of his place, and will come downe and tread vpon the note high places of the earth.

4   
And note the mountaines shall be molten vnder him, and the valleis shall be cleft: as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downe note a steepe place.

5   
For the transgression of Iacob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: What is the transgression of Iacob? Is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Iudah? are they not Ierusalem?

6   
Therfore I will make Samaria as an heape of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard; and I will powre downe the stones therof into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof.

7   
And all the grauen images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burnt with the fire, and all the idoles therof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the hire of an harlot.

8   
Therfore I wil waile and houle, I will goe stript and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the note owles.

9   
For note her wound is incurable, for it is come vnto Iudah: he is come vnto the gate of my people, euen to Ierusalem.

10   
note Declare yee it not at Gath, weepe yee not at all: In the house of note Aphrah note rowle thy selfe in the dust.

11   
Passe yee away thou note inhabitant of note Saphir, hauing thy note shame naked; the inhabitant of note Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of note Beth-ezel, he shall receiue of you his standing.

12   
For the inhabitant of Maroth note waited carefully for good, but euill came downe from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.

13   
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the charet to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

14   
Therfore shalt thou giue presents note to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of note Achzib shalbe a lie to þe; kings of Israel.

15   
Yet wil I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: note he shall come vnto Adullam, the glory of Israel

16   
Make thee note bald, and polle thee for thy delicate children, enlarge thy baldnesse as the Eagle, for they are gone into captiuitie from thee. 895
