Micah 1 – Studienbibel

1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that came to Micah4318 the Morasthite4183 in the days3117 of Jotham3147, Ahaz271, and Hezekiah3169, kings4428 of Judah3063, which he saw2372 concerning Samaria8111 and Jerusalem3389. 2 Hear8085, all ye people5971; hearken7181, O earth776, and all that therein4393 is: and let the Lord136 GOD3069 be witness5707 against you, the Lord136 from his holy6944 temple1964.¹² 3 For, behold, the LORD3068 cometh forth3318 out of his place4725, and will come down3381, and tread1869 upon the high places1116 of the earth776. 4 And the mountains2022 shall be molten4549 under him, and the valleys6010 shall be cleft1234, as wax1749 before6440 the fire784, and as the waters4325 that are poured5064 down a steep place4174.³ 5 For the transgression6588 of Jacob3290 is all this, and for the sins2403 of the house1004 of Israel3478. What is the transgression6588 of Jacob3290? is it not Samaria8111? and what are the high places1116 of Judah3063? are they not Jerusalem3389? 6 Therefore I will make7760 Samaria8111 as an heap5856 of the field7704, and as plantings4302 of a vineyard3754: and I will pour down5064 the stones68 thereof into the valley1516, and I will discover1540 the foundations3247 thereof. 7 And all the graven images6456 thereof shall be beaten to pieces3807, and all the hires868 thereof shall be burned8313 with the fire784, and all the idols6091 thereof will I lay7760 desolate8077: for she gathered6908 it of the hire868 of an harlot2181, and they shall return7725 to the hire868 of an harlot2181.

8 Therefore I will wail5594 and howl3213, I will go3212 stripped7758 7758 and naked6174: I will make6213 a wailing4553 like the dragons8577, and mourning60 as the owls1323 3284.⁴ 9 For her wound4347 is incurable605; for it is come935 unto Judah3063; he is come5060 unto the gate8179 of my people5971, even to Jerusalem3389.⁵ 10 Declare5046 ye it not at Gath1661, weep1058 ye not at all1058: in the house of Aphrah1036 roll6428 6428 thyself in the dust6083.⁶ 11 Pass ye away5674, thou inhabitant3427 of Saphir8208, having thy shame1322 naked6181: the inhabitant3427 of Zaanan6630 came not forth3318 in the mourning4553 of Bethezel1018; he shall receive3947 of you his standing5979.⁷⁸⁹¹⁰ 12 For the inhabitant3427 of Maroth4796 waited carefully2342 for good2896: but evil7451 came down3381 from the LORD3068 unto the gate8179 of Jerusalem3389.¹¹¹² 13 O thou inhabitant3427 of Lachish3923, bind7573 the chariot4818 to the swift beast7409: she is the beginning7225 of the sin2403 to the daughter1323 of Zion6726: for the transgressions6588 of Israel3478 were found4672 in thee.¹³ 14 Therefore shalt thou give5414 presents7964 to Moreshethgath4182: the houses1004 of Achzib392 shall be a lie391 to the kings4428 of Israel3478.¹⁴¹⁵ 15 Yet will I bring935 an heir3423 unto thee, O inhabitant3427 of Mareshah4762: he shall come935 unto Adullam5725 the glory3519 of Israel3478.¹⁶¹⁷ 16 Make thee bald7139, and poll1494 thee for thy delicate8588 children1121; enlarge7337 thy baldness7144 as the eagle5404; for they are gone into captivity1540 from thee.
