Easy-to-Read Version

Samaria and Israel to Be Punished

1 During the time that Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah, the word of the Lord came to Micah. Micah was from Moresheth. He saw these visions about Samaria and Jerusalem.

²Listen, all you people!
    Earth and everyone on it,^[a] listen!
The Lord God will be a witness against you.
    The Lord will come from his holy temple.
³See, the Lord is leaving his place
    to come down and walk on the high places^[b] of the earth.
