Micah
1 1 The destruction of Judah and Jerusalem because of the idolatry.
1 The word of the Lord, that came unto Micah the [a]Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria, and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, [b]all ye people: hearken thou, O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witness against you, even the Lord from his holy Temple.
3 For behold, the Lord cometh out of his place, and will come [c]down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
