1
The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which hee saw concerning Samaria and Ierusalem.
2
Heare all ye people, hearken O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witnesse against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3
For behold, the Lord commeth forth out of his place, and will come downe and tread vpon the high places of the earth.
4
And the mountaines shall be molten vnder him, and the valleis shall be cleft: as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downe a steepe place.
5
For the transgression of Iacob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: What is the transgression of Iacob? Is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Iudah? are they not Ierusalem?
6
Therfore I will make Samaria as an heape of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard; and I will powre downe the stones therof into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof.
7
And all the grauen images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burnt with the fire, and all the idoles therof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the hire of an harlot.
8
Therfore I wil waile and houle, I will goe stript and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owles.
9
For her wound is incurable, for it is come vnto Iudah: he is come vnto the gate of my people, euen to Ierusalem.
10
¶ Declare yee it not at Gath, weepe yee not at all: In the house of Aphrah rowle thy selfe in the dust.
11
Passe yee away thou inhabitant of Saphir, hauing thy shame naked; the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel, he shall receiue of you his standing.
12
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good, but euill came downe from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.
13
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the charet to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14
Therfore shalt thou giue presents to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shalbe a lie to þe kings of Israel.
15
Yet wil I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come vnto Adullam, the glory of Israel
16
Make thee bald, and polle thee for thy delicate children, enlarge thy baldnesse as the Eagle, for they are gone into captiuitie from thee.

Thank you Lord for your saving grace for it is not your will that any man perishes.

I know this, it is hard to kick against the pricks. And to be without the blessing, protection, and tbe power of God through Jesus Christ is senseless. I have been with and without his protection, as I thought, and I can assure you, its better to be under the shadow of his wings. AMEN.

Awesome account of the what is to come, of God's retribution against sin and it stirs me to think of God finally having His day where the world will not be able to deny God's existence anymore. AMEN.

Oh! My! ''GOD'' is trying to help his people by showing us ourselves, and giving us space to repent and be saved, for he is a mighty ''GOD'', and great is his loving kindness toward us. ''HE'' said that he chasen whom ''HE'' loves, and surely that means me. Therefore I choose this day to repent unto the ''LORD'' my ''GOD'' for all that I have that was not pleasing in ''HIS'' sight, and for the things that I have not done that was entrusted unto me.Now , I thank ''YOU'' my ''LORD"" for new mercy this morning that I may walk therein. AMEN

I find that chapter one is so frightening because it speaks to the entire world. I feel that although it is prophetic in ancient times, it can be applied to our present time.
