4
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
4
The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax near a fire, like water cascading down a mountainside.
Micah 1:4 In-Context
2
Hear, you peoples, all of you, listen, earth and all who live in it, that the Sovereign LORD may bear witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3
Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.
4
The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
5
All this is because of Jacob’s transgression, because of the sins of the people of Israel. What is Jacob’s transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah’s high place? Is it not Jerusalem?
6
“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations.
