The Book of
Micah
CHAPTER 1
Micah 1:1
1 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.
Micah 1:2
2 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. Micah 1:3
3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and
tread upon the high places of the earth. Micah 1:4
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft,
as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
Micah 1:5
5 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? Micah 1:6
6 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. Micah 1:7
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the
hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I
lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall
return to the hire  of an harlot.
Micah 1:8
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a
wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. Micah 1:9
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the
gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. Micah 1:10
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll
thyself in the dust.
Micah 1:11
11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the
inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall
receive of you his standing.
Micah 1:12
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down
from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. Micah 1:13
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is
the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of
Israel were found in thee.
Micah 1:14
14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib
shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. Micah 1:15
15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come
unto Adullam the glory of Israel. Micah 1:16
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy
baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee. CHAPTER 2
Micah 2:1
1 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.
Micah 2:2
2 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. Micah
2:3
3 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.
Micah 2:4
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a
doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the
portion of my people: how hath he removed  it from me! turning away  he hath
divided  our fields.
Micah 2:5
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the
congregation of the LORD.
Micah 2:6
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to
them, that they shall not take shame. Micah 2:7
7 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?
Micah 2:8
8 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. Micah 2:9
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from
their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. Micah 2:10
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it
shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. Micah 2:11
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy
unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this
people.
Micah 2:12
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the
remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the
flock in the midst  of their fold:  they shall make great noise  by reason of
the multitude of men.
Micah 2:13
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed
through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before
them, and the LORD on the head of them. CHAPTER 3
Micah 3:1
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house
of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? Micah 3:2
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them,
and their flesh from off their bones; Micah 3:3
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and
they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh
within the caldron.
Micah 3:4
4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even
hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in
their doings.
Micah 3:5
5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that
bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their
mouths, they even prepare war  against him. Micah 3:6
6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it
shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down
over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. Micah 3:7
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall
all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. Micah 3:8
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and
of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:9
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the
house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. Micah 3:10
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. Micah 3:11
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire,
and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD,
and say, Is not the LORD  among  us? none evil  can come  upon us. Micah 3:12
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall
become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
CHAPTER 4
Micah 4:1
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of
the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be
exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. Micah 4:2
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain
of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his
ways,  and we will walk  in his paths:  for the law  shall go forth  of Zion, 
and the word  of the LORD  from Jerusalem. Micah 4:3
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation  shall not lift up  a sword  against nation,  neither
shall they learn  war  any more.
Micah 4:4
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none
shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
Micah 4:5
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk
in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. Micah 4:6
6 In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will
gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; Micah 4:7
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a
strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from
henceforth, even for ever.
Micah 4:8
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto
thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the
daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah 4:9
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor
perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. Micah 4:10
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in
travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in
the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered;
there the LORD  shall redeem  thee from the hand  of thine enemies.
Micah 4:11
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be
defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. Micah 4:12
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his
counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. Micah 4:13
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I
will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I
will consecrate  their gain  unto the LORD,  and their substance  unto the Lord
 of the whole earth.
