      33:001:001 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

      33:001:002 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.

      33:001:005 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

      33:001:006 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.

      33:001:009 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

      33:001:010 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

      33:001:014 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

      33:001:015 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

      33:001:016 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

      33:002:001 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

      33:002:002 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

      33:002:003 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.

      33:002:005 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

      33:002:006 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

      33:002:007 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

      33:002:008 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

      33:002:009 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
