Destruction in Israel and Judah

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:1 - The word of the LORD which came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:2 - Hear, O peoples, all of [fn]you;
Listen, O earth and [fn]all it contains,
And let the Lord [fn]GOD be a witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:3 - For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place.
He will come down and tread on the high places of the [fn]earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:4 - The mountains will melt under Him
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:5 - All this is for the rebellion of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the rebellion of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
What is the high [fn]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:6 - For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins [fn]in the open country,
Planting places for a vineyard.
I will pour her stones down into the valley
And will lay bare her foundations.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:7 - All of her idols will be smashed,
All of her earnings will be burned with fire
And all of her images I will make desolate,
For she collected them from a harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:8 - Because of this I must lament and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:9 - For her [fn]wound is incurable,
For it has come to Judah;
It has reached the gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:10 - Tell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all.
At [fn]Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:11 - [fn]Go on your way, inhabitant of [fn]Shaphir, in shameful nakedness.
The inhabitant of [fn]Zaanan does not [fn]escape.
The lamentation of [fn]Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its [fn]support.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:12 - For the inhabitant of [fn]Maroth
Becomes weak waiting for good,
Because a calamity has come down from the LORD
To the gate of Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:13 - Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
O inhabitant of Lachish
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion
Because in you were found
The rebellious acts of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:14 - Therefore you will give parting gifts
On behalf of Moresheth-gath;
The houses of Achzib will become a deception
To the kings of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:15 - Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
O inhabitant of [fn]Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter Adullam.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:16 - Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,
Because of the children of your delight;
Extend your baldness like the eagle,
For they will go from you into exile.
