Micah 1:3
“For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.”
Verse in context — Micah 1
The word of Yahweh that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they Jerusalem?
