“The Prophet’s Grief”

The word of Hashem that came to Micah the Morashite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah — that he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
1:1
For behold, Hashem is going forth from His place; He will descend and trample the heights of the land.
1:3
All this because of the sin of Jacob, because of the transgressions of the House of Israel. Who [caused] the high places of Judah; was it not Jerusalem?
:5
All of the graven images will be smashed and all of its [idolatrous] gifts will be burned in fire, and I will make all of its idols desolate. …
:7
… O inhabitant of Lachish; that was the origin of sin for the people of Zion, for it was in you that the sins of Israel were found.
:13

1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, which he prophesied concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, all you peoples; hearken, O land and the fullness thereof, and let the Lord God be a witness against you; the Lord from His Holy Temple.
3 For behold, the Lord comes forth from His place, and He shall descend and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall melt under Him, and the valleys shall split-as wax before fire, as water poured down a steep place.
5 All this is because of the transgression of Jacob, and because of the sins of the house of Israel. Who is [the cause of] the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And who [is the cause of] the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 And I will make Samaria into a heap in the field, into a place for planting vineyards; and I will cast its stones down into the valley, and its foundations I will uncover.
7 And all its graven images shall be crushed, and all its hires shall be burnt with fire, and all its idols I will lay waste; for from the hire of a harlot it gathered, and to the hire of a harlot shall they return.
8 Concerning this I will lament and wail; I will go mad and be naked; I will make a wailing as jackals, and mourning as ostriches.
9 For she is mortally ill [from] her wounds, for it has come up to Judah; it has reached the gate of My people up to Jerusalem.
10 Do not declare it in Gath, do not weep; in the houses of Aphrah, wallow in the dust.
11 Pass along your way, you inhabitant of Shafir, with your private parts exposed; the inhabitants of Zaanan did not go forth; the lamentation caused by drawing the houses one to the other shall take its stand from you.
12 For the one dwelling in disobedience hoped for good, but evil descended from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Hitch the chariot to the swift steeds, you inhabitant of Lachish; it is the beginning of sin for the daughter of Zion, for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Since you give expulsions to the dynasty that gave you the possession of Gath, the houses of Achzib shall be a dried up spring for the kings of Israel.
15 I will yet bring the possessor to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah; up to Adullam shall the glory of Israel come.
16 Make [your head] bald and crop [your hair] for the children of your delight; widen your bald spot [to be] like an eagle-for they have been exiled from you.

Selfish Desires

LISTEN HERE

Idol worship (the worship of other gods) is just one repeated case all over the Hebrew Bible, and yet again repeated in this book. Idolatry is a clear picture of one’s rejection and neglect in worshiping One G-d alone. Evil deeds come along with it.
