Micah 1:5

Coming Judgment On Israel

⁴ The mountains melt under him. The valleys split like wax before the fire! Like waters 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 I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field. It will be a place for planting vineyards. I will tumble down her stones into the valley! I will uncover her foundations.
