The word of vuvh that came to Micha the Moresheth
3147 in the days of Yotam, Achaz, and Hizkiyahu,
melechim of Yahudah, that he saw concerning Shomron
and Yahrushalayim.
2 Listen, all you people; hear, O olam, and all that are
in them: and let vuvh Elohim be witness against you,
vuvh from His kodesh Hekal.
3 For, behold, vuvh comes forth out of His place, and
will come down, and tread upon the high places of the
earth.
4 And the mountains shall melt under Him, and the
valleys shall be torn, as wax in front of a fire, and as the
mayim that are poured down a steep place.
5 For the transgression of Yaakov is all this happening,
and for the sins of Beit Yisrael. 3148 What is the
transgression of Yaakov? Is it not Shomron? 3149 And
what are the idol temples of Yahudah? Are they not in
Yahrushalayim?
6 Therefore I will make Shomron as a heap of the field,
and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the
stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the
foundations of it.
7 And all the graven images of it shall be beaten to
pieces, and all the gifts of it shall be burned with the
fire, and all the idols of it will I lay desolate: for she
gathered it from the hire of a harlot, and they shall
return to the hire of a harlot.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and
naked: I will make a lamentation like the jackals, and
mourning like owls.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Yahudah;
he is come to the gate of my people, even to
Yahrushalayim.
10 Gilah not at Gat, weep not at all: in the bayit of
Aphrah roll yourselves in the dust.
11 Pass away, beautiful inhabitant, having your shame
naked: O inhabitant of Tza-Anan your wound will be
like that of Beth-Etzel;
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for tov:
but evil came down from vuvh to the gate of
Yahrushalayim.
13 O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the mirkavah to
the swift horse: she is the beginning of sin to the
daughter of Tzion: for the transgressions of Yisrael
were found in you.
14 Therefore shall you abandon the possessions of
Moresheth-Gat: the shrines of falsehood shall be a lie to
the melechim of Yisrael.
15 Yet will I bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of
Mareshah: he shall exalt the tifereth of Yisrael
le-olam-va-ed.
16 Make yourselves bald, and pull out your hair for
your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the
eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you. 3150
2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil on
their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and

houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and
his bayit, even a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore this says vuvh; Behold, against this
mishpacha do I devise an evil, from which you shall not
remove your necks; neither shall you walk away
proudly: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you,
and lament with a bitter lamentation, and say, We are
utterly plundered: He has changed the inheritance of my
people: how has He removed it from me! Turning away
from us He has divided our fields.
5 Therefore you shall have no one in the congregation
of vuvh to divide the land by lot.
6 Don’t you preach, say the false neviim, you shall not
preach to them, so that shame shall not overtake them.
7 O you that are named Beit Yaakov, is the Ruach of
vuvh limited? Are these His doings? Do not My words
do tov to him that walks as a tzadik?
8 Even of late My people have risen up as an enemy:
you pull off the robe with the garment from the poor
that they lose their tikvah, as men who invite war.
9 The women of My people have you cast out from their
pleasant houses; from their children have you taken
away My tifereth le-olam-va-ed.
10 Arise, and depart; for this is no place for your rest:
because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a
heavy destruction.
11 If a man walking in the ruach of falsehood does lie,
saying, I will prophesy to you being overwhelmed by
wine and strong drink; even he shall be the navi of this
people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Yaakov, all of you; I will
surely gather the remnant of Yisrael; 3151 I will put them
together as the sheep of Bozrah, 3152 as the flock in the
midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by
reason of the multitude of men. 3153
13 The path-breaker shall come up before them: they
shall break out, and will pass through the gate, and go
out by it: and their Melech shall pass before them, and
vuvh at their head. 3154
3
And I said, Listen, I ask you, O heads of Yaakov,
and you rulers of Beit Yisrael; should you not know
mishpat?
2 Who hate the tov, and love the evil; who tear away
the skin from my people, and their flesh from off their
bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and strip their
skin from off them; and they break their bones, and
chop them in pieces, as for a pot, and as meat within the
cooking pot.
4 Then shall they cry to vuvh, but He will not listen to
them: He will even hide His face from them at that time,
as they have behaved themselves evil in their deeds.
5 This says vuvh concerning the neviim that lead My
people into error, that bite with their teeth, and cry,
Shalom; they even preach war against him who does not
provide lechem for them.
6 Therefore night shall be to you, that you shall not
