Micah 1:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ The mountains will melt under him,
    and the valleys will ·crack open [split apart],
like wax near a fire,
    like water running down a hillside.
⁵ All this is because of Jacob’s ·sin [rebellion; transgression],
    because of the sins of the ·nation [^Lhouse] of Israel.
What is ·the place of Jacob’s sin [^LJacob’s trangression]?
    Isn’t it Samaria [^Cthe capital of the northern empire]?
What is Judah’s ·place of idol worship [^Lhigh place; ^Ca pagan worship site]?
    Isn’t it Jerusalem [^CJudah’s sin made the temple in Jerusalem no better than a pagan temple]?

⁶ “So I will make Samaria a ·pile [heap] of ruins in the open country,
    a place for planting vineyards.
I will pour her stones down into the valley
    and ·strip her down to [lay bare; uncover] her foundations.
