Micah 1:5

Coming Judgment On Israel

⁴ The mountains will melt under Him
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
⁵ All this is for the rebellion of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the rebellion of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
What is the high place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
⁶ For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country,
Planting places for a vineyard.
I will pour her stones down into the valley
And will lay bare her foundations.
