01 : 01 . The word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah
> that came <01961 +hayah > to Micah <04318 +Miykah > the
Morasthite <04183 +Morashtiy > in the days <03117 +yowm > of
Jotham <03147 +Yowtham > , Ahaz <00271 +>Achaz > , [ and ]
Hezekiah <02396 +Chizqiyah > , kings <04428 +melek > of Judah
<03063 +Y@huwdah > , which <00834 +>aher > he saw <02372 +chazah
> concerning <05921 +<al > Samaria <08111 +Shom@rown > and
Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



01 : 02 Hear <08085 +shama< > , all <03605 +kol > ye people
<05971 +<am > ; hearken <07181 +qashab > , O earth <00776
+>erets > , and all <04393 +m@lo> > that therein <04393 +m@lo> >
is : and let the Lord <00136 +>Adonay > GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > be
witness <05707 +<ed > against you , the Lord <00136 +>Adonay >
from his holy <06944 +qodesh > temple <01964 +heykal > .



01 : 03 For , behold <02009 +hinneh > , the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah
> cometh <03318 +yatsa> > forth <03318 +yatsa> > out of his
place <04725 +maqowm > , and will come <03381 +yarad > down
<03381 +yarad > , and tread <01869 +darak > upon the high <01116
+bamah > places of the earth <00776 +>erets > .



01 : 04 And the mountains <02022 +har > shall be molten < 04549
+macac > under <08478 +tachath > him , and the valleys <06010
+<emeq > shall be cleft <01234 +baqa< > , as wax <01749 +downag
> before <06440 +paniym > the fire <00784 +>esh > , [ and ] as
the waters <04325 +mayim > [ that are ] poured <05064 +nagar >
down a steep <04174 +mowrad > place .



01 : 05 For the transgression <06588 +pesha< > of Jacob <03290
+Ya<aqob > [ is ] all <03605 +kol > this <02063 +zo>th > , and
for the sins <02403 +chatta>ah > of the house <01004 +bayith >
of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > . What <04310 +miy > [ is ] the
transgression <06588 +pesha< > of Jacob <03290 +Ya< aqob > ? [
is it ] not Samaria <08111 +Shom@rown > ? and what < 04310 +miy
> [ are ] the high <01116 +bamah > places of Judah < 03063
+Y@huwdah > ? [ are they ] not Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim >
?



01 : 06 Therefore I will make <07760 +suwm > Samaria < 08111
+Shom@rown > as an heap <05856 +<iy > of the field <07704 +sadeh
> , [ and ] as plantings <04302 +matta< > of a vineyard <03754
+kerem > : and I will pour <05064 +nagar > down the stones <68>
thereof into the valley <01516 +gay> > , and I will discover
<01540 +galah > the foundations <03247 +y@cowd > thereof .



01 : 07 And all <03605 +kol > the graven <06456 +p@ciyl > images
thereof shall be beaten <03807 +kathath > to pieces , and all
<03605 +kol > the hires <00868 +>ethnan > thereof shall be
burned <08313 +saraph > with the fire <00784 +>esh > , and all
<03605 +kol > the idols <06091 +<atsab > thereof will I lay
<07760 +suwm > desolate <08077 +sh@mamah > : for she gathered
<06908 +qabats > [ it ] of the hire <00868 +>ethnan > of an
harlot <02181 +zanah > , and they shall return <07725 +shuwb >
to the hire <00868 +>ethnan > of an harlot <02181 +zanah > .



01 : 08 . Therefore I will wail <05594 +caphad > and howl
<03213 +yalal > , I will go <03212 +yalak > stripped <07758
+showlal > and naked <06174 +<arowm > : I will make <06213
+<asah > a wailing <04553 +micepd > like the dragons <08577
+tanniyn > , and mourning <60> as the owls .



01 : 09 For her wound <04347 +makkah > [ is ] incurable < 00605
+>anash > ; for it is come <00935 +bow> > unto Judah <03063
+Y@huwdah > ; he is come <05060 +naga< > unto the gate <08179
+sha<ar > of my people <05971 +<am > , [ even ] to Jerusalem
<03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



01 : 10 Declare <05046 +nagad > ye [ it ] not at Gath < 01661
+Gath > , weep <01058 +bakah > ye not at all : in the house
<01035 +Beyth Lechem > of Aphrah <01036 +Beyth l@ - < Aphrah >
roll <06428 +palash > thyself in the dust <06083 +< aphar > .



01 : 11 Pass <05674 +<abar > ye away , thou inhabitant <03427
+yashab > of Saphir <08208 +Shaphiyr > , having thy shame <01322
+bosheth > naked <06181 +<eryah > : the inhabitant <03427
+yashab > of Zaanan came <03318 +yatsa> > not forth <03318
+yatsa> > in the mourning <04553 +micepd > of Bethezel <01018
+Beyth ha - >etsel > ; he shall receive <03947 +laqach > of you
his standing <05979 +<emdah > .



01 : 12 For the inhabitant <03427 +yashab > of Maroth < 04796
+Marowth > waited <02342 +chuwl > carefully <02470 +chalah > for
good <02896 +towb > : but evil <07451 +ra< > came <03381 +yarad
> down <03381 +yarad > from the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > unto the
gate <08179 +sha<ar > of Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



01 : 13 O thou inhabitant <03427 +yashab > of Lachish < 03923
+Lachiysh > , bind <07573 +ratham > the chariot < 04818 +merkabah
> to the swift <07409 +rekesh > beast <07409 +rekesh > : she [
is ] the beginning <07225 +re>shiyth > of the sin < 02403
+chatta>ah > to the daughter <01323 +bath > of Zion <06726
+Tsiyown > : for the transgressions <06588 +pesha< > of Israel
<03478 +Yisra>el > were found <04672 +matsa> > in thee .



01 : 14 Therefore <03651 +ken > shalt thou give <05414 +nathan >
presents <07964 +shilluwach > to Moreshethgath <04182
+Mowresheth Gath > : the houses <01004 +bayith > of Achzib
<00392 +>Akziyb > [ shall be ] a lie <00391 +> akzab > to the
kings <04428 +melek > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > .



01 : 15 Yet <05750 +<owd > will I bring <00935 +bow> > an heir
<03423 +yarash > unto thee , O inhabitant <03427 +yashab > of
Mareshah <04762 +Mar>eshah > : he shall come <00935 +bow> > unto
Adullam <05725 +<Adullam > the glory <03519 +kabowd > of Israel
<03478 +Yisra>el > .



01 : 16 Make thee bald <07139 +qarach > , and poll < 01494 +gazaz
> thee for thy delicate <08588 +ta<anuwg > children <01121 +ben
> ; enlarge <07337 +rachab > thy baldness <07144 +qorchah > as
the eagle <05404 +nesher > ; for they are gone into captivity
<01540 +galah > from thee .



02 : 01 . Woe <01945 +howy > to them that devise <02803
+chashab > iniquity <00205 +>aven > , and work < 06466 +pa<al >
evil <07451 +ra< > upon their beds <04904 +mishkab > ! when the
morning <01242 +boqer > is light <00216 +>owr > , they practise
<06213 +<asah > it , because <03588 +kiy > it is in the power
<00410 +>el > of their hand <03027 +yad > .



02 : 02 And they covet <02530 +chamad > fields <07704 +sadeh > ,
and take <05375 +nasa> > [ them ] by violence <01497 +gazal > ;
and houses <01004 +bayith > , and take <05375 +nasa> > [ them ]
away <07726 +showbab > : so they oppress <06231 +< ashaq > a man
<01397 +geber > and his house <01004 +bayith > , even a man
<00376 +>iysh > and his heritage <05159 +nachalah > .



02 : 03 Therefore <03651 +ken > thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559
+>amar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ; Behold < 02005 +hen > ,
against <05921 +<al > this <02063 +zo>th > family <04940
+mishpachah > do I devise <02803 +chashab > an evil < 07451 +ra<
> , from which <00834 +>aher > ye shall not remove <04185 +muwsh
> your necks <06677 +tsavva>r > ; neither <03808 +lo> > shall ye
go <03212 +yalak > haughtily <07317 +rowmah > : for this <01931
+huw> > time <06256 +<eth > [ is ] evil <07451 +ra< > .



02 : 04 In that day <03117 +yowm > shall [ one ] take < 05375
+nasa> > up a parable <04912 +mashal > against < 05921 +<al > you
, and lament <05091 +nahah > with a doleful <05093 +nihyah >
lamentation <05092 +n@hiy > , [ and ] say <00559 +> amar > , We
be utterly <07703 +shadad > spoiled <07703 +shadad > : he hath
changed <04171 +muwr > the portion <02506 +cheleq > of my people
<05971 +<am > : how <00349 +>eyk > hath he removed <04185 +muwsh
> [ it ] from me ! turning <07725 +shuwb > away he hath divided
<02505 +chalaq > our fields <07704 +sadeh > .



02 : 05 Therefore <03651 +ken > thou shalt have <01961 +hayah >
none <03808 +lo> > that shall cast <07993 +shalak > a cord
<02256 +chebel > by lot <01486 +gowral > in the congregation
<06951 +qahal > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .



02 : 06 . Prophesy <05197 +nataph > ye not , [ say they to them
that ] prophesy <05197 +nataph > : they shall not prophesy
<05197 +nataph > to them , [ that ] they shall not take < 05253
+nacag > shame <03639 +k@limmah > .



02 : 07 O [ thou that art ] named <00559 +>amar > the house
<01004 +bayith > of Jacob <03290 +Ya<aqob > , is the spirit
<07307 +ruwach > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > straitened <07114
+qatsar > ? [ are ] these <00428 +>el - leh > his doings <04611
+ma<alal > ? do not my words <01697 +dabar > do good <03190
+yatab > to him that walketh <01980 +halak > uprightly <03477
+yashar > ?



02 : 08 Even of late <00865 +>ethmowl > my people < 05971 +<am >
is risen <06965 +quwm > up as an enemy <00341 +>oyeb > : ye pull
<06584 +pashat > off the robe <00145 +>eder > with the garment
<08008 +salmah > from them that pass <05674 +<abar > by securely
<00983 +betach > as men averse <07725 +shuwb > from war <04421
+milchamah > .



02 : 09 The women <00802 +>ishshah > of my people < 05971 +<am >
have ye cast <01644 +garash > out from their pleasant < 08588
+ta<anuwg > houses <01004 +bayith > ; from their children <05768
+<owlel > have ye taken <03947 +laqach > away my glory <01926
+hadar > for ever <05769 +<owlam > .



02 : 10 Arise <06965 +quwm > ye , and depart <03212 +yalak > ;
for this <02063 +zo>th > [ is ] not [ your ] rest < 04496
+m@nuwchah > : because <05668 +<abuwr > it is polluted <02930
+tame> > , it shall destroy <02254 +chabal > [ you ] , even with
a sore <04834 +marats > destruction <02256 +chebel > .



02 : 11 If <05863 +<Iyey ha - <Abariym > a man < 00376 +>iysh >
walking <01980 +halak > in the spirit <07307 +ruwach > and
falsehood <08267 +sheqer > do lie <03576 +kazab > , [ saying ] ,
I will prophesy <05197 +nataph > unto thee of wine < 03196 +yayin
> and of strong <07941 +shekar > drink <07941 +shekar > ; he
shall even be the prophet <05197 +nataph > of this < 02088 +zeh >
people <05971 +<am > .



02 : 12 . I will surely assemble <00622 +>acaph > , O Jacob
<03290 +Ya<aqob > , all <03605 +kol > of thee ; I will surely
gather <06908 +qabats > the remnant <07611 +sh@> eriyth > of
Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > ; I will put <07760 +suwm > them
together <03162 +yachad > as the sheep <06629 +tso>n > of Bozrah
<01224 +Botsrah > , as the flock <05739 +<eder > in the midst
<08432 +tavek > of their fold <01699 +dober > : they shall make
great noise <01949 +huwm > by reason of [ the multitude of ] men
<00120 +>adam > .



02 : 13 The breaker <06555 +parats > is come <05927 +< alah > up
before <06440 +paniym > them : they have broken <06555 +parats >
up , and have passed <05674 +<abar > through the gate <08179
+sha<ar > , and are gone <03318 +yatsa> > out by it : and their
king <04428 +melek > shall pass <05674 +<abar > before <06440
+paniym > them , and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > on the head
<07218 +ro>sh > of them .



03 : 01 . And I said <00559 +>amar > , Hear <08085 +shama< > ,
I pray <04994 +na> > you , O heads <07218 +ro>sh > of Jacob
<03290 +Ya<aqob > , and ye princes <07101 +qatsiyn > of the
house <01004 +bayith > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > ; [ Is it ]
not for you to know <03045 +yada< > judgment <04941 +mishpat > ?



03 : 02 Who <04310 +miy > hate <08130 +sane> > the good <02896
+towb > , and love <00157 +>ahab > the evil <07451 +ra< > ; who
<04310 +miy > pluck <01497 +gazal > off their skin <05785 +<owr
> from off them , and their flesh <07607 +sh@>er > from off
<05921 +<al > their bones <06106 +<etsem > ;



03 : 03 Who <04310 +miy > also eat <00398 +>akal > the flesh
<07607 +sh@>er > of my people <05971 +<am > , and flay <06584
+pashat > their skin <05785 +<owr > from off < 05921 +<al > them ;
and they break <06746 +ts@lochiyth > their bones <06106 +<etsem
> , and chop <06566 +paras > them in pieces , as for the pot
<05518 +ciyr > , and as flesh <01320 +basar > within <08432
+tavek > the caldron <07037 +qallachath > .



03 : 04 Then <00227 +>az > shall they cry <02199 +za<aq > unto
the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , but he will not hear <06030 +<anah
> them : he will even hide <05641 +cathar > his face < 06440
+paniym > from them at that time <06256 +<eth > , as they have
behaved <07489 +ra<a< > themselves ill <07489 +ra<a< > in their
doings <04611 +ma<alal > .



03 : 05 Thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068
+Y@hovah > concerning <05921 +<al > the prophets < 05030 +nabiy>
> that make my people <05971 +<am > err <08582 +ta<ah > , that
bite <05391 +nashak > with their teeth <08127 +shen > , and cry
<07121 +qara> > , Peace <07965 +shalowm > ; and he that putteth
<05414 +nathan > not into <05921 +<al > their mouths <06310 +peh
> , they even prepare <06942 +qadash > war <04421 +milchamah >
against <05921 +<al > him .



03 : 06 Therefore <03651 +ken > night <03915 +layil > [ shall be
] unto you , that ye shall not have a vision <02377 +chazown > ;
and it shall be dark <02821 +chashak > unto you , that ye shall
not divine <07080 +qacam > ; and the sun <08121 +shemesh > shall
go <00935 +bow> > down over <05921 +<al > the prophets <05030
+nabiy> > , and the day <03117 +yowm > shall be dark <06937
+qadar > over <05921 +<al > them .



03 : 07 Then shall the seers <02374 +chozeh > be ashamed <00954
+buwsh > , and the diviners <07080 +qacam > confounded <02659
+chapher > : yea , they shall all <03605 +kol > cover <05844
+<atah > their lips <08222 +sapham > ; for [ there is ] no
<00369 +>ayin > answer <04617 +ma<aneh > of God <00430 +>elohiym
> .



03 : 08 . But truly <00199 +>uwlam > I am full < 04390 +male> >
of power <03581 +koach > by the spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the
LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and of judgment <04941 +mishpat > , and
of might <01369 +g@buwrah > , to declare <05046 +nagad > unto
Jacob <03290 +Ya<aqob > his transgression <06588 +pesha< > , and
to Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > his sin <02403 +chatta>ah > .



03 : 09 Hear <08085 +shama< > this <02063 +zo>th > , I pray
<04994 +na> > you , ye heads <07218 +ro>sh > of the house <01004
+bayith > of Jacob <03290 +Ya<aqob > , and princes <07101
+qatsiyn > of the house <01004 +bayith > of Israel < 03478
+Yisra>el > , that abhor <08581 +ta<ab > judgment <04941
+mishpat > , and pervert <06140 +<aqash > all < 03605 +kol >
equity <03477 +yashar > .



03 : 10 They build <01129 +banah > up Zion <06726 +Tsiyown >
with blood <01818 +dam > , and Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim >
with iniquity <05766 +<evel > .



03 : 11 The heads <07218 +ro>sh > thereof judge < 08199 +shaphat
> for reward <07810 +shachad > , and the priests < 03548 +kohen >
thereof teach <03384 +yarah > for hire <04242 +m@chiyr > , and
the prophets <05030 +nabiy> > thereof divine <07080 +qacam > for
money <03701 +keceph > : yet will they lean <08172 +sha<an >
upon the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and say <00559 +> amar > , [ Is
] not the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > among <07130 +qereb > us ?
none <03808 +lo> > evil <07451 +ra< > can come <00935 +bow> >
upon us

.



03 : 12 Therefore <03651 +ken > shall Zion <06726 +Tsiyown > for
your sake <01558 +galal > be plowed <02790 +charash > [ as ] a
field <07704 +sadeh > , and Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim >
shall become <01961 +hayah > heaps <05856 +<iy > , and the
mountain <02022 +har > of the house <01004 +bayith > as the high
<01116 +bamah > places of the forest <03293 +ya<ar > .



04 : 01 . But in the last <00319 +>achariyth > days < 03117
+yowm > it shall come <01961 +hayah > to pass , [ that ] the
mountain <02022 +har > of the house <01004 +bayith > of the LORD
<03068 +Y@hovah > shall be established <03559 +kuwn > in the top
<07218 +ro>sh > of the mountains <02022 +har > , and it shall be
exalted <05375 +nasa> > above the hills <01389 +gib<ah > ; and
people <05971 +<am > shall flow <05102 +nahar > unto it .



04 : 02 And many <07227 +rab > nations <01471 +gowy > shall come
<01980 +halak > , and say <00559 +>amar > , Come <03212 +yalak >
, and let us go <05927 +<alah > up to the mountain < 02022 +har >
of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and to the house <01004 +bayith
> of the God <00430 +>elohiym > of Jacob <03290 +Ya<aqob > ; and
he will teach <03384 +yarah > us of his ways <01870 +derek > ,
and we will walk <03212 +yalak > in his paths <00734 +>orach > :
for the law <08451 +towrah > shall go <03318 +yatsa> > forth
<03318 +yatsa> > of Zion <06726 +Tsiyown > , and the word <01697
+dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > from Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > .



04 : 03 And he shall judge <08199 +shaphat > among < 00996 +beyn

05 : 08 And the remnant <07611 +sh@>eriyth > of Jacob <03290

05 : 14 And I will pluck <05428 +nathash > up thy groves <00842

destroy <08045 +shamad > thy cities <05892 +<iyr > .



05 : 15 And I will execute <06213 +<asah > vengeance < 05359

06 : 06 . Wherewith <04100 +mah > shall I come <06923 +qadam >
before <06924 +qedem > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , [ and ] bow

06 : 07 Will the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > be pleased < 07521

06 : 08 He hath shewed <05046 +nagad > thee , O man < 00120

06 : 10 Are there yet <05750 +<owd > the treasures < 00214

06 : 11 Shall I count [ them ] pure <02135 +zakah > with the
wicked <07562 +resha< > balances <03976 +mo>zen > , and with the
bag <03599 +kiyc > of deceitful <04820 +mirmah > weights <68> ?



06 : 12 For the rich <06223 +<ashiyr > men thereof are full

inhabitants <03427 +yashab > thereof have spoken <01696 +dabar >
lies <08267 +sheqer > , and their tongue <03956 +lashown > [ is

06 : 13 Therefore also <01571 +gam > will I make [ thee ] sick
<02470 +chalah > in smiting <05221 +nakah > thee , in making [
thee ] desolate <08074 +shamem > because <05921 +<al > of thy

06 : 14 Thou shalt eat <00398 +>akal > , but not be satisfied

deliverest <06403 +palat > will I give <05414 +nathan > up to
the sword <02719 +chereb > .



06 : 15 Thou shalt sow <02232 +zara< > , but thou shalt not reap
<07114 +qatsar > ; thou shalt tread <01869 +darak > the olives
<02132 +zayith > , but thou shalt not anoint <05480 +cuwk > thee

<08492 +tiyrowsh > , but shalt not drink <08354 +shathah > wine
<03196 +yayin > .



06 : 16 For the statutes <02708 +chuqqah > of Omri < 06018

<03427 +yashab > thereof an hissing <08322 +sh@reqah > :
therefore ye shall bear <05375 +nasa> > the reproach < 02781

07 : 01 . Woe <00480 +>al@lay > is me ! for I am as when they

07 : 02 The good <02623 +chaciyd > [ man ] is perished < 6> out

07 : 03 That they may do evil <07451 +ra< > with both hands
