,micah    #cc3jja3jja ,the word of the  
,,lord that came to ,micah the          
,morasthite in the             days of  
,jotham1 ,ahaz1 and ,hezekiah1 kings of 
,judah1 which he             saw        
concerning ,samaria and ,jerusalem4     
#cc3jja3jjb ,hear1 all ye people2       
hearken1 ,o earth1 and all that therein 
is3 and let the ,lord ,,god be witness  
against you1 the ,,lord from            
his holy temple4    #cc3jja3jjc ,for1   
behold1 the ,,lord cometh forth out of  
his place1 and will             come    
down1 and tread upon the high places of 
the earth4    #cc3jja3jjd ,and the      
mountains shall be molten under him1 and
 the valleys             shall be cleft1
 as wax before the fire1 and as the     
waters that             are poured down 
a steep place4    #cc3jja3jje ,for the  

transgression of ,jacob is all this1 and
 for the sins             of the house  
of ,israel4 ,what is the transgression  
of ,jacob8 is             it not        
,samaria8 and what are the high places  
of ,judah8 are             they not     
,jerusalem8    #cc3jja3jjf ,therefore ,i
 will make ,samaria as an heap of the   
field1 and as             plantings of a
 vineyard3 and ,i will pour down the    
stones             thereof into the     
valley1 and ,i will discover the        
foundations             thereof4        
#cc3jja3jjg ,and all the graven images  
thereof shall be beaten to pieces1      
and all the hires thereof shall be      
burned with the fire1 and               
all the idols thereof will ,i lay       
desolate3 for she gathered it           
of the hire of an harlot1 and they shall
 return to the hire of             an   
harlot4    #cc3jja3jjh ,therefore ,i    
will wail and howl1 ,i will go stripped 
and naked3             ,i will make a   
wailing like the dragons1 and mourning  

as the             owls4    #cc3jja3jji 
,for her wound is incurable2 for it is  
come unto ,judah2 he is             come
 unto the gate of my people1 even to    
,jerusalem4    #cc3jja3jaj ,declare ye  
it not at ,gath1 weep ye not at all3 in 
the house of             ,aphrah roll   
thyself in the dust4    #cc3jja3jaa     
,pass ye away1 thou inhabitant of       
,saphir1 having thy shame               
naked3 the inhabitant of ,zaanan came   
not forth in the mourning             of
 ,bethezel2 he shall receive of you his 
standing4    #cc3jja3jab ,for the       
inhabitant of ,maroth waited carefully  
for good3 but             evil came down
 from the ,,lord unto the gate of       
,jerusalem4    #cc3jja3jac ,o thou      
inhabitant of ,lachish1 bind the chariot
 to the swift             beast3 she is 
the beginning of the sin to the daughter
 of             ,zion3 for the          
transgressions of ,israel were found in 
thee4    #cc3jja3jad ,therefore shalt   
thou give presents to ,moreshethgath3   

the             houses of ,achzib shall 
be a lie to the kings of ,israel4       
#cc3jja3jae ,yet will ,i bring an heir  
unto thee1 ,o inhabitant of ,mareshah3  
he shall come unto ,adullam the glory of
 ,israel4    #cc3jja3jaf ,make thee     
bald1 and poll thee for thy delicate    
children2             enlarge thy       
baldness as the eagle2 for they are gone
 into             captivity from thee4  
#cc3jjb3jja ,woe to them that devise    
iniquity1 and work evil upon their      
beds6 when the morning is light1 they   
practise it1 because it             is  
in the power of their hand4             
#cc3jjb3jjb ,and they covet fields1 and 
take them by violence2 and houses1      
and take them away3 so they oppress a   
man and his house1 even             a   
man and his heritage4    #cc3jjb3jjc    
,therefore thus saith the ,,lord2       
,behold1 against this family do         
,i devise an evil1 from which ye shall  
not remove your necks2                  
neither shall ye go haughtily3 for this 

time is evil4    #cc3jjb3jjd ,in that   
day shall one take up a parable against 
you1 and             lament with a      
doleful lamentation1 and say1 ,we be    
utterly             spoiled3 he hath    
changed the portion of my people3 how   
hath he             removed it from me6 
turning away he hath divided our fields4
    #cc3jjb3jje ,therefore thou shalt   
have none that shall cast a cord by lot 
in the congregation of the ,,lord4      
#cc3jjb3jjf ,prophesy ye not1 say they  
to them that prophesy3 they shall       
not prophesy to them1 that they shall   
not take shame4    #cc3jjb3jjg ,o thou  
that art named the house of ,jacob1 is  
the spirit of the             ,,lord    
straitened8 are these his doings8 do not
 my words do good             to him    
that walketh uprightly8    #cc3jjb3jjh  
,even of late my people is risen up as  
an enemy3 ye pull off             the   
robe with the garment from them that    
pass by securely as             men     
averse from war4    #cc3jjb3jji ,the    

women of my people have ye cast out from
 their pleasant             houses2 from
 their children have ye taken away my   
glory for             ever4             
#cc3jjb3jaj ,arise ye1 and depart2 for  
this is not your rest3 because it is    
polluted1 it shall destroy you1 even    
with a sore destruction4    #cc3jjb3jaa 
,if a man walking in the spirit and     
falsehood do lie1 saying1 ,i            
will prophesy unto thee of wine and of  
strong drink2 he shall             even 
be the prophet of this people4          
#cc3jjb3jab ,i will surely assemble1 ,o 
,jacob1 all of thee2 ,i will surely     
gather the remnant of ,israel2 ,i will  
put them together as the                
sheep of ,bozrah1 as the flock in the   
midst of their fold3 they               
shall make great noise by reason of the 
multitude of men4    #cc3jjb3jac ,the   
breaker is come up before them3 they    
have broken up1 and             have    
passed through the gate1 and are gone   
out by it3 and             their king   

shall pass before them1 and the ,,lord  
on the head of             them4        
#cc3jjc3jja ,and ,i said1 ,hear1 ,i pray
 you1 ,o heads of ,jacob1 and ye princes
             of the house of ,israel2   
,is it not for you to know judgment8    
#cc3jjc3jjb ,who hate the good1 and love
 the evil2 who pluck off their skin     
from off them1 and their flesh from off 
their bones2    #cc3jjc3jjc ,who also   
eat the flesh of my people1 and flay    
their skin from             off them2   
and they break their bones1 and chop    
them in pieces1             as for the  
pot1 and as flesh within the caldron4   
#cc3jjc3jjd ,then shall they cry unto   
the ,,lord1 but he will not hear them3  
he will even hide his face from them at 
that time1 as they             have     
behaved themselves ill in their doings4 
#cc3jjc3jje ,thus saith the ,,lord      
concerning the prophets that make my    
people err1 that bite with their teeth1 
and cry1 ,peace2 and he             that
 putteth not into their mouths1 they    

even prepare war             against    
him4    #cc3jjc3jjf ,therefore night    
shall be unto you1 that ye shall not    
have a             vision2 and it shall 
be dark unto you1 that ye shall not     
divine2 and the sun shall go down over  
the prophets1 and the             day   
shall be dark over them4    #cc3jjc3jjg 
,then shall the seers be ashamed1 and   
the diviners confounded3                
yea1 they shall all cover their lips2   
for there is no answer             of   
,god4    #cc3jjc3jjh ,but truly ,i am   
full of power by the spirit of the      
,,lord1 and of             judgment1 and
 of might1 to declare unto ,jacob his   
transgression1 and to ,israel his sin4  
#cc3jjc3jji ,hear this1 ,i pray you1 ye 
heads of the house of ,jacob1 and       
princes of the house of ,israel1 that   
abhor judgment1 and             pervert 
all equity4    #cc3jjc3jaj ,they build  
up ,zion with blood1 and ,jerusalem with
 iniquity4    #cc3jjc3jaa ,the heads    
thereof judge for reward1 and the       

priests thereof             teach for   
hire1 and the prophets thereof divine   
for money3 yet             will they    
lean upon the ,,lord1 and say1 ,is not  
the ,,lord among             us8 none   
evil can come upon us4    #cc3jjc3jab   
,therefore shall ,zion for your sake be 
plowed as a field1 and                  
,jerusalem shall become heaps1 and the  
mountain of the house as             the
 high places of the forest4             
#cc3jjd3jja ,but in the last days it    
shall come to pass1 that the mountain   
of the house of the ,,lord shall be     
established in the top of               
the mountains1 and it shall be exalted  
above the hills2 and             people 
shall flow unto it4    #cc3jjd3jjb ,and 
many nations shall come1 and say1 ,come1
 and let us go up             to the    
mountain of the ,,lord1 and to the house
 of the ,god of             ,jacob2 and 
he will teach us of his ways1 and we    
will walk in             his paths3 for 
the law shall go forth of ,zion1 and the

 word of             the ,,lord from    
,jerusalem4    #cc3jjd3jjc ,and he shall
 judge among many people1 and rebuke    
strong             nations afar off2 and
 they shall beat their swords into      
plowshares1 and their spears into       
pruninghooks3 nation shall              
not lift up a sword against nation1     
neither shall they learn             war
 any more4    #cc3jjd3jjd ,but they     
shall sit every man under his vine and  
under his fig             tree2 and none
 shall make them afraid3 for the mouth  
of the             ,,lord of hosts hath 
spoken it4    #cc3jjd3jje ,for all      
people will walk every one in the name  
of his god1 and             we will walk
 in the name of the ,,lord our ,god for 
ever and             ever4              
#cc3jjd3jjf ,in that day1 saith the     
,,lord1 will ,i assemble her that       
halteth1             and ,i will gather 
her that is driven out1 and her that ,i 
have             afflicted2             
#cc3jjd3jjg ,and ,i will make her that  

halted a remnant1 and her that was      
cast far off a strong nation3 and the   
,,lord shall reign over             them
 in mount ,zion from henceforth1 even   
for ever4    #cc3jjd3jjh ,and thou1 ,o  
tower of the flock1 the strong hold of  
the             daughter of ,zion1 unto 
thee shall it come1 even the first      
dominion2 the kingdom shall come to the 
daughter of ,jerusalem4    #cc3jjd3jji  
,now why dost thou cry out aloud8 is    
there no king in thee8 is               
thy counsellor perished8 for pangs have 
taken thee as a woman             in    
travail4    #cc3jjd3jaj ,be in pain1 and
 labour to bring forth1 ,o daughter of  
,zion1             like a woman in      
travail3 for now shalt thou go forth out
 of             the city1 and thou shalt
 dwell in the field1 and thou shalt go  
even to ,babylon2 there shalt thou be   
delivered2 there the ,,lord             
shall redeem thee from the hand of thine
 enemies4    #cc3jjd3jaa ,now also many 
nations are gathered against thee1 that 

say1 ,let             her be defiled1   
and let our eye look upon ,zion4        
#cc3jjd3jab ,but they know not the      
thoughts of the ,,lord1 neither         
understand             they his counsel3
 for he shall gather them as the sheaves
 into             the floor4            
#cc3jjd3jac ,arise and thresh1 ,o       
daughter of ,zion3 for ,i will make     
thine             horn iron1 and ,i will
 make thy hoofs brass3 and thou shalt   
beat in pieces many people3 and ,i will 
consecrate their gain             unto  
the ,,lord1 and their substance unto the
 ,lord of the whole             earth4  
#cc3jje3jja ,now gather thyself in      
troops1 ,o daughter of troops3 he hath  
laid siege against us3 they shall smite 
the judge of ,israel             with a 
rod upon the cheek4    #cc3jje3jjb ,but 
thou1 ,bethlehem ,ephratah1 though thou 
be little among the                     
thousands of ,judah1 yet out of thee    
shall he come forth unto             me 
that is to be ruler in ,israel2 whose   

goings forth have been             from 
of old1 from everlasting4    #cc3jje3jjc
 ,therefore will he give them up1 until 
the time that she which                 
travaileth hath brought forth3 then the 
remnant of his             brethren     
shall return unto the children of       
,israel4    #cc3jje3jjd ,and he shall   
stand and feed in the strength of the   
,,lord1 in             the majesty of   
the name of the ,,lord his ,god2 and    
they shall             abide3 for now   
shall he be great unto the ends of the  
earth4    #cc3jje3jje ,and this man     
shall be the peace1 when the ,assyrian  
shall come             into our land3   
and when he shall tread in our palaces1 
then             shall we raise against 
him seven shepherds1 and eight          
principal men4    #cc3jje3jjf ,and they 
shall waste the land of ,assyria with   
the sword1 and             the land of  
,nimrod in the entrances thereof3 thus  
shall he             deliver us from the
 ,assyrian1 when he cometh into our     

land1             and when he treadeth  
within our borders4    #cc3jje3jjg ,and 
the remnant of ,jacob shall be in the   
midst of many people             as a   
dew from the ,,lord1 as the showers upon
 the grass1 that             tarrieth   
not for man1 nor waiteth for the sons of
 men4    #cc3jje3jjh ,and the remnant of
 ,jacob shall be among the ,gentiles in 
the             midst of many people as 
a lion among the beasts of the forest1  
as a young lion among the flocks of     
sheep3 who1 if he go                    
through1 both treadeth down1 and teareth
 in pieces1 and none             can    
deliver4    #cc3jje3jji ,thine hand     
shall be lifted up upon thine           
adversaries1 and all             thine  
enemies shall be cut off4    #cc3jje3jaj
 ,and it shall come to pass in that day1
 saith the ,,lord1 that ,i              
will cut off thy horses out of the midst
 of thee1 and ,i will                   
destroy thy chariots3    #cc3jje3jaa    
,and ,i will cut off the cities of thy  

land1 and throw down all             thy
 strong holds3    #cc3jje3jab ,and ,i   
will cut off witchcrafts out of thine   
hand2 and thou             shalt have no
 more soothsayers3    #cc3jje3jac ,thy  
graven images also will ,i cut off1 and 
thy standing images             out of  
the midst of thee2 and thou shalt no    
more worship the             work of    
thine hands4    #cc3jje3jad ,and ,i will
 pluck up thy groves out of the midst of
 thee3 so             will ,i destroy   
thy cities4    #cc3jje3jae ,and ,i will 
execute vengeance in anger and fury upon
 the             heathen1 such as they  
have not heard4    #cc3jjf3jja ,hear ye 
now what the ,,lord saith2 ,arise1      
contend thou before             the     
mountains1 and let the hills hear thy   
voice4    #cc3jjf3jjb ,hear ye1 ,o      
mountains1 the ,,lord's controversy1 and
 ye strong             foundations of   
the earth3 for the ,,lord hath a        
controversy with             his people1
 and he will plead with ,israel4        

#cc3jjf3jjc ,o my people1 what have ,i  
done unto thee8 and wherein have ,i     
wearied thee8 testify against me4       
#cc3jjf3jjd ,for ,i brought thee up out 
of the land of ,egypt1 and redeemed     
thee out of the house of servants2 and  
,i sent before thee             ,moses1 
,aaron1 and ,miriam4    #cc3jjf3jje ,o  
my people1 remember now what ,balak king
 of ,moab consulted1             and    
what ,balaam the son of ,beor answered  
him from ,shittim unto                  
,gilgal2 that ye may know the           
righteousness of the ,,lord4            
#cc3jjf3jjf ,wherewith shall ,i come    
before the ,,lord1 and bow myself before
             the high ,god8 shall ,i    
come before him with burnt offerings1   
with calves of a year old8              
#cc3jjf3jjg ,will the ,,lord be pleased 
with thousands of rams1 or with ten     
thousands of rivers of oil8 shall ,i    
give my firstborn for my                
transgression1 the fruit of my body for 
the sin of my soul8    #cc3jjf3jjh ,he  

hath shewed thee1 ,o man1 what is good2 
and what doth the             ,,lord    
require of thee1 but to do justly1 and  
to love mercy1 and             to walk  
humbly with thy ,god8    #cc3jjf3jji    
,the ,,lord's voice crieth unto the     
city1 and the man of wisdom             
shall see thy name3 hear ye the rod1 and
 who hath appointed             it4     
#cc3jjf3jaj ,are there yet the treasures
 of wickedness in the house of the      
wicked1 and the scant measure that is   
abominable8    #cc3jjf3jaa ,shall ,i    
count them pure with the wicked         
balances1 and with the             bag  
of deceitful weights8    #cc3jjf3jab    
,for the rich men thereof are full of   
violence1 and the                       
inhabitants thereof have spoken lies1   
and their tongue is                     
deceitful in their mouth4    #cc3jjf3jac
 ,therefore also will ,i make thee sick 
in smiting thee1 in             making  
thee desolate because of thy sins4      
#cc3jjf3jad ,thou shalt eat1 but not be 

satisfied2 and thy casting down         
shall be in the midst of thee2 and thou 
shalt take hold1 but             shalt  
not deliver2 and that which thou        
deliverest will ,i give             up  
to the sword4    #cc3jjf3jae ,thou shalt
 sow1 but thou shalt not reap2 thou     
shalt tread the             olives1 but 
thou shalt not anoint thee with oil2 and
 sweet             wine1 but shalt not  
drink wine4    #cc3jjf3jaf ,for the     
statutes of ,omri are kept1 and all the 
works of the             house of ,ahab1
 and ye walk in their counsels2 that ,i 
should             make thee a          
desolation1 and the inhabitants thereof 
an             hissing3 therefore ye    
shall bear the reproach of my people4   
#cc3jjg3jja ,woe is me6 for ,i am as    
when they have gathered the summer      
fruits1 as the grapegleanings of the    
vintage3 there is no             cluster
 to eat3 my soul desired the firstripe  
fruit4    #cc3jjg3jjb ,the good man is  
perished out of the earth3 and there is 

none             upright among men3 they
 all lie in wait for blood2 they hunt   
every man his brother with a net4       
#cc3jjg3jjc ,that they may do evil with 
both hands earnestly1 the prince        
asketh1 and the judge asketh for a      
reward2 and the great man1              
he uttereth his mischievous desire3 so  
they wrap it up4    #cc3jjg3jjd ,the    
best of them is as a brier3 the most    
upright is sharper             than a   
thorn hedge3 the day of thy watchmen and
 thy visitation             cometh2 now 
shall be their perplexity4              
#cc3jjg3jje ,trust ye not in a friend1  
put ye not confidence in a guide3       
keep the doors of thy mouth from her    
that lieth in thy bosom4    #cc3jjg3jjf 
,for the son dishonoureth the father1   
the daughter riseth up                  
against her mother1 the daughter in law 
against her mother in             law2 a
 man's enemies are the men of his own   
house4    #cc3jjg3jjg ,therefore ,i will
 look unto the ,,lord2 ,i will wait for 

the ,god             of my salvation3 my
 ,god will hear me4    #cc3jjg3jjh      
,rejoice not against me1 ,o mine enemy3 
when ,i fall1 ,i shall                  
arise2 when ,i sit in darkness1 the     
,,lord shall be a light unto            
me4    #cc3jjg3jji ,i will bear the     
indignation of the ,,lord1 because ,i   
have sinned             against him1    
until he plead my cause1 and execute    
judgment for             me3 he will    
bring me forth to the light1 and ,i     
shall behold             his            
righteousness4    #cc3jjg3jaj ,then she 
that is mine enemy shall see it1 and    
shame shall             cover her which 
said unto me1 ,where is the ,,lord thy  
,god8 mine             eyes shall behold
 her3 now shall she be trodden down as  
the             mire of the streets4    
#cc3jjg3jaa ,in the day that thy walls  
are to be built1 in that day shall      
the decree be far removed4              
#cc3jjg3jab ,in that day also he shall  
come even to thee from ,assyria1 and    

from the fortified cities1 and from the 
fortress even to the             river1 
and from sea to sea1 and from mountain  
to mountain4    #cc3jjg3jac             
,notwithstanding the land shall be      
desolate because of them                
that dwell therein1 for the fruit of    
their doings4    #cc3jjg3jad ,feed thy  
people with thy rod1 the flock of thine 
heritage1             which dwell       
solitarily in the wood1 in the midst of 
,carmel3             let them feed in   
,bashan and ,gilead1 as in the days of  
old4    #cc3jjg3jae ,according to the   
days of thy coming out of the land of   
,egypt             will ,i shew unto him
 marvellous things4    #cc3jjg3jaf ,the 
nations shall see and be confounded at  
all their might3             they shall 
lay their hand upon their mouth1 their  
ears shall             be deaf4         
#cc3jjg3jag ,they shall lick the dust   
like a serpent1 they shall move out     
of their holes like worms of the earth3 
they shall be afraid             of the 

,,lord our ,god1 and shall fear because 
of thee4    #cc3jjg3jah ,who is a ,god  
like unto thee1 that pardoneth iniquity1
 and             passeth by the         
transgression of the remnant of his     
heritage8             he retaineth not  
his anger for ever1 because he          
delighteth in             mercy4        
#cc3jjg3jai ,he will turn again1 he will
 have compassion upon us2 he will       
subdue our iniquities2 and thou wilt    
cast all their sins into             the
 depths of the sea4    #cc3jjg3jbj ,thou
 wilt perform the truth to ,jacob1 and  
the mercy to             ,abraham1 which
 thou hast sworn unto our fathers from  
the days             of old4
