Mic 01:01 ¶ The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came to
Micah <04318> the Morasthite <04183> in the days <03117> of
Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, and Hezekiah <03169>, kings <04428>
of Judah <03063>, which he saw <02372> (8804) concerning Samaria
<08111> and Jerusalem <03389>.
Mic 01:02 Hear <08085> (8798), all ye people <05971>; hearken
<07181> (8685), O earth <0776>, and all that therein <04393> is:
and let the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> be witness <05707> against
you, the Lord <0136> from his holy <06944> temple <01964>.
Mic 01:03 For, behold, the LORD <03068> cometh forth <03318>
(8802) out of his place <04725>, and will come down <03381>
(8804), and tread <01869> (8804) upon the high places <01116> of
the earth <0776>.
Mic 01:04 And the mountains <02022> shall be molten <04549>
(8738) under him, and the valleys <06010> shall be cleft <01234>
(8691), as wax <01749> before <06440> the fire <0784>, and as
the waters <04325> that are poured <05064> (8716) down a steep
place <04174>.
Mic 01:05 For the transgression <06588> of Jacob <03290> is all
this, and for the sins <02403> of the house <01004> of Israel
<03478>. What is the transgression <06588> of Jacob <03290>? is
it not Samaria <08111>? and what are the high places <01116> of
Judah <03063>? are they not Jerusalem <03389>?
Mic 01:06 Therefore I will make <07760> (8804) Samaria <08111>
as an heap <05856> of the field <07704>, and as plantings
<04302> of a vineyard <03754>: and I will pour down <05064>
(8689) the stones <068> thereof into the valley <01516>, and I
will discover <01540> (8762) the foundations <03247> thereof.
Mic 01:07 And all the graven images <06456> thereof shall be
beaten to pieces <03807> (8714), and all the hires <0868>
thereof shall be burned <08313> (8735) with the fire <0784>, and
all the idols <06091> thereof will I lay <07760> (8799) desolate
<08077>: for she gathered <06908> (8765) it of the hire <0868>
of an harlot <02181> (8802), and they shall return <07725>
(8799) to the hire <0868> of an harlot <02181> (8802).
Mic 01:08 ¶ Therefore I will wail <05594> (8799) and howl
<03213> (8686), I will go <03212> (8799) stripped <07758> (8675)
<07758> and naked <06174>: I will make <06213> (8799) a wailing
<04553> like the dragons <08577>, and mourning <060> as the owls
<01323> <03284>.
Mic 01:09 For her wound <04347> is incurable <0605> (8803); for
it is come <0935> (8804) unto Judah <03063>; he is come <05060>
(8804) unto the gate <08179> of my people <05971>, even to
Jerusalem <03389>.
Mic 01:10 Declare <05046> (8686) ye it not at Gath <01661>,
weep <01058> (8799) ye not at all <01058> (8800): in the house
of Aphrah <01036> roll <06428> (8690) (8675) <06428> (8694)
thyself in the dust <06083>.
Mic 01:11 Pass ye away <05674> (8798), thou inhabitant <03427>
(8802) of Saphir <08208>, having thy shame <01322> naked <06181>:
the inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Zaanan <06630> came not forth
<03318> (8804) in the mourning <04553> of Bethezel <01018>; he
shall receive <03947> (8799) of you his standing <05979>.
Mic 01:12 For the inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Maroth <04796>
waited carefully <02342> (8804) for good <02896>: but evil
<07451> came down <03381> (8804) from the LORD <03068> unto the
gate <08179> of Jerusalem <03389>.
Mic 01:13 O thou inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Lachish <03923>,
bind <07573> (8798) the chariot <04818> to the swift beast
<07409>: she is the beginning <07225> of the sin <02403> to the
daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>: for the transgressions <06588>
of Israel <03478> were found <04672> (8738) in thee.
Mic 01:14 Therefore shalt thou give <05414> (8799) presents
<07964> to Moreshethgath <04182>: the houses <01004> of Achzib
<0392> shall be a lie <0391> to the kings <04428> of Israel
<03478>.
Mic 01:15 Yet will I bring <0935> (8686) an heir <03423> (8802)
unto thee, O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Mareshah <04762>: he
shall come <0935> (8799) unto Adullam <05725> the glory <03519>
of Israel <03478>.
Mic 01:16 Make thee bald <07139> (8798), and poll <01494>
(8798) thee for thy delicate <08588> children <01121>; enlarge
<07337> (8685) thy baldness <07144> as the eagle <05404>; for
they are gone into captivity <01540> (8804) from thee.
Mic 02:01 ¶ Woe <01945> to them that devise <02803> (8802)
iniquity <0205>, and work <06466> (8802) evil <07451> upon their
beds <04904>! when the morning <01242> is light <0216>, they
practise <06213> (8799) it, because it is <03426> in the power
<0410> of their hand <03027>.
Mic 02:02 And they covet <02530> (8804) fields <07704>, and
take them by violence <01497> (8804); and houses <01004>, and
take them away <05375> (8804): so they oppress <06231> (8804) a
man <01397> and his house <01004>, even a man <0376> and his
heritage <05159>.
Mic 02:03 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>;
Behold, against this family <04940> do I devise <02803> (8802)
an evil <07451>, from which ye shall not remove <04185> (8686)
your necks <06677>; neither shall ye go <03212> (8799) haughtily
<07317>: for this time <06256> is evil <07451>.
Mic 02:04 In that day <03117> shall one take up <05375> (8799)
a parable <04912> against you, and lament <05091> (8804) with a
doleful <05093> lamentation <05092>, and say <0559> (8804), We
be utterly <07703> (8800) spoiled <07703> (8738): he hath
changed <04171> (8686) the portion <02506> of my people <05971>:
how hath he removed <04185> (8686) it from me! turning away
<07725> (8788) he hath divided <02505> (8762) our fields <07704>.
Mic 02:05 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast
<07993> (8688) a cord <02256> by lot <01486> in the congregation
<06951> of the LORD <03068>.
Mic 02:06 ¶ Prophesy <05197> (8686) ye not, say they to them
that prophesy <05197> (8686): they shall not prophesy <05197>
(8686) to them, that they shall not take <05253> (8799) shame
<03639>.
Mic 02:07 O thou that art named <0559> (8803) the house <01004>
of Jacob <03290>, is the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>
straitened <07114> (8804)? are these his doings <04611>? do not
my words <01697> do good <03190> (8686) to him that walketh
<01980> (8802) uprightly <03477>?
Mic 02:08 Even of late <0865> my people <05971> is risen up
<06965> (8787) as an enemy <0341> (8802): ye pull off <06584>
(8686) the robe <0145> with <04136> the garment <08008> from
them that pass <05674> (8802) by securely <0983> as men averse
<07725> (8803) from war <04421>.
Mic 02:09 The women <0802> of my people <05971> have ye cast
out <01644> (8762) from their pleasant <08588> houses <01004>;
from their children <05768> have ye taken away <03947> (8799) my
glory <01926> for ever <05769>.
Mic 02:10 Arise <06965> (8798) ye, and depart <03212> (8798);
for this is not your rest <04496>: because it is polluted
<02930> (8800), it shall destroy <02254> (8762) you, even with a
sore <04834> (8737) destruction <02256>.
Mic 02:11 If <03863> a man <0376> walking <01980> (8802) in the
spirit <07307> and falsehood <08267> do lie <03576> (8765),
saying, I will prophesy <05197> (8686) unto thee of wine <03196>
and of strong drink <07941>; he shall even be the prophet
<05197> (8688) of this people <05971>.
Mic 02:12 ¶ I will surely <0622> (8800) assemble <0622> (8799),
O Jacob <03290>, all of thee; I will surely <06908> (8763)
gather <06908> (8762) the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>; I
will put <07760> (8799) them together <03162> as the sheep
<06629> of Bozrah <01223> (8677) <01224>, as the flock <05739>
in the midst <08432> of their fold <01699>: they shall make
great noise <01949> (8686) by reason of the multitude of men
<0120>.
Mic 02:13 The breaker <06555> (8802) is come up <05927> (8804)
before <06440> them: they have broken up <06555> (8804), and
have passed through <05674> (8799) the gate <08179>, and are
gone out <03318> (8799) by it: and their king <04428> shall pass
<05674> (8799) before <06440> them, and the LORD <03068> on the
head <07218> of them.
Mic 03:01 ¶ And I said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798), I
pray you, O heads <07218> of Jacob <03290>, and ye princes
<07101> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; Is it not for
you to know <03045> (8800) judgment <04941>?
Mic 03:02 Who hate <08130> (8802) the good <02896>, and love
<0157> (8802) the evil <07451>; who pluck off <01497> (8802)
their skin <05785> from off them, and their flesh <07607> from
off their bones <06106>;
Mic 03:03 Who also eat <0398> (8804) the flesh <07607> of my
people <05971>, and flay <06584> (8689) their skin <05785> from
off them; and they break <06476> (8765) their bones <06106>, and
chop them in pieces <06566> (8804), as for the pot <05518>, and
as flesh <01320> within <08432> the caldron <07037>.
Mic 03:04 Then shall they cry <02199> (8799) unto the LORD
<03068>, but he will not hear <06030> (8799) them: he will even
hide <05641> (8686) his face <06440> from them at that time
<06256>, as they have behaved themselves ill <07489> (8689) in
their doings <04611>.
Mic 03:05 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> concerning
the prophets <05030> that make my people <05971> err <08582>
(8688), that bite <05391> (8802) with their teeth <08127>, and
cry <07121> (8804), Peace <07965>; and he that putteth <05414>
(8799) not into their mouths <06310>, they even prepare <06942>
(8765) war <04421> against him.
Mic 03:06 Therefore night <03915> shall be unto you, that ye
shall not have a vision <02377>; and it shall be dark <02821>
(8675) <02821> (8804) unto you, that ye shall not divine <07080>
(8800); and the sun <08121> shall go down <0935> (8804) over the
prophets <05030>, and the day <03117> shall be dark <06937>
(8804) over them.
Mic 03:07 Then shall the seers <02374> be ashamed <0954> (8804),
and the diviners <07080> (8802) confounded <02659> (8804): yea,
they shall all cover <05844> (8804) their lips <08222>; for
there is no answer <04617> of God <0430>.
Mic 03:08 ¶ But truly <0199> I am full <04390> (8804) of power
<03581> by the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>, and of
judgment <04941>, and of might <01369>, to declare <05046>
(8687) unto Jacob <03290> his transgression <06588>, and to
Israel <03478> his sin <02403>.
Mic 03:09 Hear <08085> (8798) this, I pray you, ye heads
<07218> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and princes
<07101> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, that abhor
<08581> (8764) judgment <04941>, and pervert <06140> (8762) all
equity <03477>.
Mic 03:10 They build up <01129> (8802) Zion <06726> with blood
<01818>, and Jerusalem <03389> with iniquity <05766>.
Mic 03:11 The heads <07218> thereof judge <08199> (8799) for
reward <07810>, and the priests <03548> thereof teach <03384>
(8686) for hire <04242>, and the prophets <05030> thereof divine
<07080> (8799) for money <03701>: yet will they lean <08172>
(8735) upon the LORD <03068>, and say <0559> (8800), Is not the
LORD <03068> among <07130> us? none evil <07451> can come <0935>
(8799) upon us.
Mic 03:12 Therefore shall Zion <06726> for your sake <01558> be
plowed <02790> (8735) as a field <07704>, and Jerusalem <03389>
shall become heaps <05856>, and the mountain <02022> of the
house <01004> as the high places <01116> of the forest <03293>.
Mic 04:01 ¶ But in the last <0319> days <03117> it shall come to
pass, that the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> shall be established <03559> (8737) in the top <07218>
of the mountains <02022>, and it shall be exalted <05375> (8737)
above the hills <01389>; and people <05971> shall flow <05102>
(8804) unto it.
Mic 04:02 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall come <01980>
(8804), and say <0559> (8804), Come <03212> (8798), and let us
go up <05927> (8799) to the mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068>,
and to the house <01004> of the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>;
and he will teach <03384> (8686) us of his ways <01870>, and we
will walk <03212> (8799) in his paths <0734>: for the law
<08451> shall go forth <03318> (8799) of Zion <06726>, and the
word <01697> of the LORD <03068> from Jerusalem <03389>.
Mic 04:03 And he shall judge <08199> (8804) among many <07227>
people <05971>, and rebuke <03198> (8689) strong <06099> nations
<01471> afar off <07350>; and they shall beat <03807> (8765)
their swords <02719> into plowshares <0855>, and their spears
<02595> into pruninghooks <04211>: nation <01471> shall not lift
up <05375> (8799) a sword <02719> against nation <01471>,
neither shall they learn <03925> (8799) war <04421> any more.
Mic 04:04 But they shall sit <03427> (8804) every man <0376>
under his vine <01612> and under his fig tree <08384>; and none
shall make them afraid <02729> (8688): for the mouth <06310> of
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it.
Mic 04:05 For all people <05971> will walk <03212> (8799) every
one <0376> in the name <08034> of his god <0430>, and we will
walk <03212> (8799) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our
God <0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.
Mic 04:06 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD
<03068>, will I assemble <0622> (8799) her that halteth <06760>
(8802), and I will gather <06908> (8762) her that is driven out
<05080> (8737), and her that I have afflicted <07489> (8689);
Mic 04:07 And I will make <07760> (8804) her that halted
<06760> (8802) a remnant <07611>, and her that was cast far off
<01972> (8737) a strong <06099> nation <01471>: and the LORD
<03068> shall reign <04427> (8804) over them in mount <02022>
Zion <06726> from henceforth, even for <05704> ever <05769>.
Mic 04:08 ¶ And thou, O tower <04026> of the flock <05739>
(8677) <04029>, the strong hold <06076> of the daughter <01323>
of Zion <06726>, unto thee shall it come <0857> (8799), even the
first <07223> dominion <04475>; the kingdom <04467> shall come
<0935> (8804) to the daughter <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>.
Mic 04:09 Now why dost thou cry <07321> (8686) out aloud
<07452>? is there no king <04428> in thee? is thy counsellor
<03289> (8802) perished <06> (8804)? for pangs <02427> have
taken <02388> (8689) thee as a woman in travail <03205> (8802).
Mic 04:10 Be in pain <02342> (8798), and labour to bring forth
<01518> (8798), O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, like a woman
in travail <03205> (8802): for now shalt thou go forth <03318>
(8799) out of the city <07151>, and thou shalt dwell <07931>
(8804) in the field <07704>, and thou shalt go <0935> (8804)
even to Babylon <0894>; there shalt thou be delivered <05337>
(8735); there the LORD <03068> shall redeem <01350> (8799) thee
from the hand <03709> of thine enemies <0341> (8802).
Mic 04:11 Now also many <07227> nations <01471> are gathered
<0622> (8738) against thee, that say <0559> (8802), Let her be
defiled <02610> (8799), and let our eye <05869> look <02372>
(8799) upon Zion <06726>.
Mic 04:12 But they know <03045> (8804) not the thoughts <04284>
of the LORD <03068>, neither understand <0995> (8689) they his
counsel <06098>: for he shall gather <06908> (8765) them as the
sheaves <05995> into the floor <01637>.
Mic 04:13 Arise <06965> (8798) and thresh <01758> (8798), O
daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>: for I will make <07760> (8799)
thine horn <07161> iron <01270>, and I will make <07760> (8799)
thy hoofs <06541> brass <05154>: and thou shalt beat in pieces
<01854> (8689) many <07227> people <05971>: and I will
consecrate <02763> (8689) their gain <01215> unto the LORD
<03068>, and their substance <02428> unto the Lord <0113> of the
whole earth <0776>.
Mic 05:01 ¶ Now gather <01413> (8704) thyself in troops <01416>,
O daughter <01323> of troops <01416>: he hath laid <07760>
(8804) siege <04692> against us: they shall smite <05221> (8686)
the judge <08199> (8802) of Israel <03478> with a rod <07626>
upon the cheek <03895>.
Mic 05:02 But thou, Bethlehem <01035> Ephratah <0672>, though
thou be little <06810> among the thousands <0505> of Judah
<03063>, yet out of thee shall he come forth <03318> (8799) unto
me that is to be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478>; whose
goings forth <04163> have been from of old <06924>, from
everlasting <03117> <05769>.
Mic 05:03 Therefore will he give them up <05414> (8799), until
the time <06256> that she which travaileth <03205> (8802) hath
brought forth <03205> (8804): then the remnant <03499> of his
brethren <0251> shall return <07725> (8799) unto the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>.
Mic 05:04 And he shall stand <05975> (8804) and feed <07462>
(8804) in the strength <05797> of the LORD <03068>, in the
majesty <01347> of the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> his God
<0430>; and they shall abide <03427> (8804): for now shall he be
great <01431> (8799) unto the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>.
Mic 05:05 And this man shall be the peace <07965>, when the
Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> (8799) into our land <0776>:
and when he shall tread <01869> (8799) in our palaces <0759>,
then shall we raise <06965> (8689) against him seven <07651>
shepherds <07462> (8802), and eight <08083> principal <05257>
men <0120>.
Mic 05:06 And they shall waste <07462> (8804) the land <0776>
of Assyria <0804> with the sword <02719>, and the land <0776> of
Nimrod <05248> in the entrances <06607> thereof: thus shall he
deliver <05337> (8689) us from the Assyrian <0804>, when he
cometh <0935> (8799) into our land <0776>, and when he treadeth
<01869> (8799) within our borders <01366>.
Mic 05:07 ¶ And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be in
the midst <07130> of many <07227> people <05971> as a dew
<02919> from the LORD <03068>, as the showers <07241> upon the
grass <06212>, that tarrieth <06960> (8762) not for man <0376>,
nor waiteth <03176> (8762) for the sons <01121> of men <0120>.
Mic 05:08 And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be
among the Gentiles <01471> in the midst <07130> of many <07227>
people <05971> as a lion <0738> among the beasts <0929> of the
forest <03293>, as a young lion <03715> among the flocks <05739>
of sheep <06629>: who, if he go through <05674> (8804), both
treadeth down <07429> (8804), and teareth in pieces <02963>
(8804), and none can deliver <05337> (8688).
Mic 05:09 Thine hand <03027> shall be lifted up <07311> (8799)
upon thine adversaries <06862>, and all thine enemies <0341>
(8802) shall be cut off <03772> (8735).
Mic 05:10 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, saith
<05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will cut off <03772>
(8689) thy horses <05483> out of the midst <07130> of thee, and
I will destroy <06> (8689) thy chariots <04818>:
Mic 05:11 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) the cities <06145>
(8676) <05892> of thy land <0776>, and throw down <02040> (8804)
all thy strong holds <04013>:
Mic 05:12 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) witchcrafts <03785>
out of thine hand <03027>; and thou shalt have no more
soothsayers <06049> (8781):
Mic 05:13 Thy graven images <06456> also will I cut off <03772>
(8689), and thy standing images <04676> out of the midst <07130>
of thee; and thou shalt no more worship <07812> (8691) the work
<04639> of thine hands <03027>.
Mic 05:14 And I will pluck up <05428> (8804) thy groves <0842>
out of the midst <07130> of thee: so will I destroy <08045>
(8689) thy cities <06145> (8676) <05892>.
Mic 05:15 And I will execute <06213> (8804) vengeance <05359>
in anger <0639> and fury <02534> upon the heathen <01471>, such
as they have not heard <08085> (8804).
Mic 06:01 ¶ Hear <08085> (8798) ye now what the LORD <03068>
saith <0559> (8802); Arise <06965> (8798), contend <07378>
(8798) thou before the mountains <02022>, and let the hills
<01389> hear <08085> (8799) thy voice <06963>.
Mic 06:02 Hear <08085> (8798) ye, O mountains <02022>, the
LORD’S <03068> controversy <07379>, and ye strong <0386>
foundations <04146> of the earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068>
hath a controversy <07379> with his people <05971>, and he will
plead <03198> (8691) with Israel <03478>.
Mic 06:03 O my people <05971>, what have I done <06213> (8804)
unto thee? and wherein have I wearied <03811> (8689) thee?
testify <06030> (8798) against me.
Mic 06:04 For I brought thee up <05927> (8689) out of the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714>, and redeemed <06299> (8804) thee out of
the house <01004> of servants <05650>; and I sent <07971> (8799)
before <06440> thee Moses <04872>, Aaron <0175>, and Miriam
<04813>.
Mic 06:05 O my people <05971>, remember <02142> (8798) now what
Balak <01111> king <04428> of Moab <04124> consulted <03289>
(8804), and what Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160>
answered <06030> (8804) him from Shittim <07851> unto Gilgal
<01537>; that ye may know <03045> (8800) the righteousness
<06666> of the LORD <03068>.
Mic 06:06 ¶ Wherewith shall I come before <06923> (8762) the
LORD <03068>, and bow <03721> (8735) myself before the high
<04791> God <0430>? shall I come before <06923> (8762) him with
burnt offerings <05930>, with calves <05695> of a year <08141>
old <01121>?
Mic 06:07 Will the LORD <03068> be pleased <07521> (8799) with
thousands <0505> of rams <0352>, or with ten thousands <07233>
of rivers <05158> of oil <08081>? shall I give <05414> (8799) my
firstborn <01060> for my transgression <06588>, the fruit
<06529> of my body <0990> for the sin <02403> of my soul <05315>?
Mic 06:08 He hath shewed <05046> (8689) thee, O man <0120>,
what is good <02896>; and what doth the LORD <03068> require
<01875> (8802) of thee, but to do <06213> (8800) justly <04941>,
and to love <0160> mercy <02617>, and to walk <03212> (8800)
humbly <06800> (8687) with thy God <0430>?
Mic 06:09 ¶ The LORD’S <03068> voice <06963> crieth <07121>
(8799) unto the city <05892>, and the man of wisdom <08454>
shall see <07200> (8799) thy name <08034>: hear <08085> (8798)
ye the rod <04294>, and who hath appointed <03259> (8804) it.
Mic 06:10 Are there <0786> yet the treasures <0214> of
wickedness <07562> (8676) <0376> in the house <01004> of the
wicked <07563>, and the scant <07332> measure <0374> that is
abominable <02194> (8803)?
Mic 06:11 Shall I count them pure <02135> (8799) with the
wicked <07562> balances <03976>, and with the bag <03599> of
deceitful <04820> weights <068>?
Mic 06:12 For the rich men <06223> thereof are full <04390>
(8804) of violence <02555>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802)
thereof have spoken <01696> (8765) lies <08267>, and their
tongue <03956> is deceitful <07423> in their mouth <06310>.
Mic 06:13 Therefore also will I make thee sick <02470> (8689)
in smiting <05221> (8687) thee, in making thee desolate <08074>
(8687) because of thy sins <02403>.
Mic 06:14 Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799), but not be satisfied
<07646> (8799); and thy casting down <03445> shall be in the
midst <07130> of thee; and thou shalt take hold <05253> (8686),
but shalt not deliver <06403> (8686); and that which thou
deliverest <06403> (8762) will I give up <05414> (8799) to the
sword <02719>.
Mic 06:15 Thou shalt sow <02232> (8799), but thou shalt not
reap <07114> (8799); thou shalt tread <01869> (8799) the olives
<02132>, but thou shalt not anoint <05480> (8799) thee with oil
<08081>; and sweet wine <08492>, but shalt not drink <08354>
(8799) wine <03196>.
Mic 06:16 For the statutes <02708> of Omri <06018> are kept
<08104> (8691), and all the works <04639> of the house <01004>
of Ahab <0256>, and ye walk <03212> (8799) in their counsels
<04156>; that I should make <05414> (8800) thee a desolation
<08047>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof an hissing
<08322>: therefore ye shall bear <05375> (8799) the reproach
<02781> of my people <05971>.
Mic 07:01 ¶ Woe <0480> is me! for I am as when they have
gathered <0625> the summer fruits <07019>, as the grapegleanings
<05955> of the vintage <01210>: there is no cluster <0811> to
eat <0398> (8800): my soul <05315> desired <0183> (8765) the
firstripe fruit <01063>.
Mic 07:02 The good <02623> man is perished <06> (8804) out of
the earth <0776>: and there is none upright <03477> among men
<0120>: they all lie in wait <0693> (8799) for blood <01818>;
they hunt <06679> (8799) every man <0376> his brother <0251>
with a net <02764>.
Mic 07:03 That they may do evil <07451> with both hands <03709>
earnestly <03190> (8687), the prince <08269> asketh <07592>
(8802), and the judge <08199> (8802) asketh for a reward <07966>;
and the great <01419> man, he uttereth <01696> (8802) his
mischievous <01942> desire <05315>: so they wrap it up <05686>
(8762).
Mic 07:04 The best <02896> of them is as a brier <02312>: the
most upright <03477> is sharper than a thorn hedge <04534>: the
day <03117> of thy watchmen <06822> (8764) and thy visitation
<06486> cometh <0935> (8804); now shall be their perplexity
<03998>.
Mic 07:05 Trust <0539> (8686) ye not in a friend <07453>, put
ye not confidence <0982> (8799) in a guide <0441>: keep <08104>
(8798) the doors <06607> of thy mouth <06310> from her that
lieth <07901> (8802) in thy bosom <02436>.
Mic 07:06 For the son <01121> dishonoureth <05034> (8764) the
father <01>, the daughter <01323> riseth up <06965> (8801)
against her mother <0517>, the daughter in law <03618> against
her mother in law <02545>; a man’s <0376> enemies <0341> (8802)
are the men <0582> of his own house <01004>.
Mic 07:07 ¶ Therefore I will look <06822> (8762) unto the LORD
<03068>; I will wait <03176> (8686) for the God <0430> of my
salvation <03468>: my God <0430> will hear <08085> (8799) me.
Mic 07:08 Rejoice <08055> (8799) not against me, O mine enemy
<0341> (8802): when I fall <05307> (8804), I shall arise <06965>
(8804); when I sit <03427> (8799) in darkness <02822>, the LORD
<03068> shall be a light <0216> unto me.
Mic 07:09 I will bear <05375> (8799) the indignation <02197> of
the LORD <03068>, because I have sinned <02398> (8804) against
him, until he plead <07378> (8799) my cause <07379>, and execute
<06213> (8804) judgment <04941> for me: he will bring me forth
<03318> (8686) to the light <0216>, and I shall behold <07200>
(8799) his righteousness <06666>.
Mic 07:10 Then she that is mine enemy <0341> (8802) shall see
<07200> (8799) it, and shame <0955> shall cover <03680> (8762)
her which said <0559> (8802) unto me, Where is the LORD <03068>
thy God <0430>? mine eyes <05869> shall behold <07200> (8799)
her: now shall she be trodden down <04823> as the mire <02916>
of the streets <02351>.
Mic 07:11 In the day <03117> that thy walls <01447> are to be
built <01129> (8800), in that day <03117> shall the decree
<02706> be far removed <07368> (8799).
Mic 07:12 In that day <03117> also he shall come <0935> (8799)
even to thee from Assyria <0804>, and from the fortified <04693>
cities <05892>, and from the fortress <04693> even to the river
<05104>, and from sea <03220> to sea <03220>, and from mountain
<02022> to mountain <02022>.
Mic 07:13 Notwithstanding the land <0776> shall be desolate
<08077> because of them that dwell <03427> (8802) therein, for
the fruit <06529> of their doings <04611>.
Mic 07:14 ¶ Feed <07462> (8798) thy people <05971> with thy rod
<07626>, the flock <06629> of thine heritage <05159>, which
dwell <07931> (8802) solitarily <0910> in the wood <03293>, in
the midst <08432> of Carmel <03760>: let them feed <07462>
(8799) in Bashan <01316> and Gilead <01568>, as in the days
<03117> of old <05769>.
Mic 07:15 According to the days <03117> of thy coming <03318>
(8800) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will I shew
<07200> (8686) unto him marvellous <06381> (8737) things.
Mic 07:16 The nations <01471> shall see <07200> (8799) and be
confounded <0954> (8799) at all their might <01369>: they shall
lay <07760> (8799) their hand <03027> upon their mouth <06310>,
their ears <0241> shall be deaf <02790> (8799).
Mic 07:17 They shall lick <03897> (8762) the dust <06083> like
a serpent <05175>, they shall move <07264> (8799) out of their
holes <04526> like worms <02119> (8801) of the earth <0776>:
they shall be afraid <06342> (8799) of the LORD <03068> our God
<0430>, and shall fear <03372> (8799) because of thee.
Mic 07:18 Who is a God <0410> like unto thee, that pardoneth
<05375> (8802) iniquity <05771>, and passeth by <05674> (8802)
the transgression <06588> of the remnant <07611> of his heritage
<05159>? he retaineth <02388> (8689) not his anger <0639> for
ever <05703>, because he delighteth <02654> (8804) in mercy
<02617>.
Mic 07:19 He will turn again <07725> (8799), he will have
compassion <07355> (8762) upon us; he will subdue <03533> (8799)
our iniquities <05771>; and thou wilt cast <07993> (8686) all
their sins <02403> into the depths <04688> of the sea <03220>.
Mic 07:20 Thou wilt perform <05414> (8799) the truth <0571> to
Jacob <03290>, and the mercy <02617> to Abraham <085>, which
thou hast sworn <07650> (8738) unto our fathers <01> from the
days <03117> of old <06924>.
