Micah 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message as it came to Micah of Moresheth. It came during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. It had to do with what was going on in Samaria and Jerusalem. God Takes the Witness Stand

2 Listen, people - all of you. Listen, earth, and everyone in it: The Master, God, takes the witness stand against you, the Master from his Holy Temple.

3 Look, here he comes! God, from his place! He comes down and strides across mountains and hills.

4 Mountains sink under his feet, valleys split apart; The rock mountains crumble into gravel, the river valleys leak like sieves.

5 All this because of Jacob's sin, because Israel's family did wrong. You ask, "So what is Jacob's sin?" Just look at Samaria - isn't it obvious? And all the sex-and-religion shrines in Judah - isn't Jerusalem responsible?

6 "I'm turning Samaria into a heap of rubble, a vacant lot littered with garbage. I'll dump the stones from her buildings in the valley and leave her abandoned foundations exposed.

7 All her carved and cast gods and goddesses will be sold for stove wood and scrap metal, All her sacred fertility groves burned to the ground, All the sticks and stones she worshiped as gods, destroyed. These were her earnings from her life as a whore. This is what happens to the fees of a whore."

8 This is why I lament and mourn. This is why I go around in rags and barefoot. This is why I howl like a pack of coyotes, and moan like a mournful owl in the night.

9 God has inflicted punishing wounds; Judah has been wounded with no healing in sight. Judgment has marched through the city gates. Jerusalem must face the charges.

10 Don't gossip about this in Telltown. Don't waste your tears. In Dustville, roll in the dust.

11 In Alarmtown, the alarm is sounded. The citizens of Exitburgh will never get out alive. Lament, Last-Stand City: There's nothing in you left standing.

12 The villagers of Bittertown wait in vain for sweet peace. Harsh judgment has come from God and entered Peace City.

13 All you who live in Chariotville, get in your chariots for flight. You led the daughter of Zion into trusting not God but chariots. Similar sins in Israel also got their start in you.

14 Go ahead and give your good-bye gifts to Good-byeville. Miragetown beckoned but disappointed Israel's kings.

15 Inheritance City has lost its inheritance. Glorytown has seen its last of glory.

16 Shave your heads in mourning over the loss of your precious towns. Go bald as a goose egg - they've gone into exile and aren't coming back.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 verbum Domini quod factum est ad Micham Morasthiten in diebus Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda quod vidit super Samariam et Hierusalem

2 audite populi omnes et adtendat terra et plenitudo eius et sit Dominus Deus vobis in testem Dominus de templo sancto suo

3 quia ecce Dominus egreditur de loco suo et descendet et calcabit super excelsa terrae

4 et consumentur montes subtus eum et valles scindentur sicut cera a facie ignis sicut aquae quae decurrunt in praeceps

5 in scelere Iacob omne istud et in peccatis domus Israhel quod scelus Iacob nonne Samaria et quae excelsa Iudae nonne Hierusalem

6 et ponam Samariam quasi acervum lapidum in agro cum plantatur vinea et detraham in vallem lapides eius et fundamenta eius revelabo

7 et omnia sculptilia eius concidentur et omnes mercedes eius conburentur igni et omnia idola eius ponam in perditionem quia de mercedibus meretricis congregata sunt et usque ad mercedem meretricis revertentur

8 super hoc plangam et ululabo vadam spoliatus et nudus faciam planctum velut draconum et luctum quasi strutionum

9 quia desperata est plaga eius quia venit usque ad Iudam tetigit portam populi mei usque ad Hierusalem

10 in Geth nolite adnuntiare lacrimis ne ploretis in domo Pulveris pulvere vos conspergite

11 et transite vobis habitatio Pulchra confusa ignominia non est egressa quae habitat in Exitu planctum domus Vicinae accipiet ex vobis quae stetit sibimet

12 quia infirmata est in bonum quae habitat in Amaritudinibus quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Hierusalem

13 tumultus quadrigae stuporis habitanti Lachis principium peccati est filiae Sion quia in te inventa sunt scelera Israhel

14 propterea dabit emissarios super hereditatem Geth domus Mendacii in deceptionem regibus Israhel

15 adhuc heredem adducam tibi quae habitas in Maresa usque Adollam veniet gloria Israhel

16 decalvare et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te
