Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:2 - Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:3 - For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:4 - Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:5 - For the transgression of Jacob is all this, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:6 - And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:7 - And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot they return.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:8 - For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:10 - In Gath tell ye not -- in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:11 - Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:13 - Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin is she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:14 - Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:15 - Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 1:16 - Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
