Micah 1:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 The mountains will melt when he comes,
like wax melts near a fire.
The valleys will also break into pieces.
They will move like water when it rushes down a hill.
5 All these bad things will happen because Jacob's people have refused to obey God.
These things will happen because Israel's people have done wrong things.
You may ask who has caused this.
It is the leaders in your capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem.
They have kept the high places there for people to offer gifts to false gods.

6 So God says to you:

‘I will destroy Samaria so that just a few stones are lying in the fields there.[a]
Then people will plant vines in that place.[b]
I will throw the stones from the city down into the valley,
when I completely destroy all the buildings.

  1. 1:6 Verses 1-7 We think that Micah spoke these words at some time before 722 BC. In that year, enemies from the country called Assyria destroyed Samaria exactly as Micah had told the people earlier.
  2. 1:6 Vines or grapevines are plants that climb. They have small, sweet fruits called grapes.
