Micah 1:4 in Context — Micah 1

2 Écoutez, vous tous, peuples! Sois attentive, terre, et ce qui est en toi! Que le Seigneur, l’Éternel, soit témoin contre vous, Le Seigneur qui est dans le palais de sa sainteté!

3 Car voici, l’Éternel sort de sa demeure, Il descend, il marche sur les hauteurs de la terre.

4 Sous lui les montagnes se fondent, Les vallées s’entr’ouvrent, Comme la cire devant le feu, Comme l’eau qui coule sur une pente.

5 Et tout cela à cause du crime de Jacob, A cause des péchés de la maison d’Israël! Quel est le crime de Jacob? N’est-ce pas Samarie? Quels sont les hauts lieux de Juda? N’est-ce pas Jérusalem?…

6 Je ferai de Samarie un monceau de pierres dans les champs, Un lieu pour planter de la vigne; Je précipiterai ses pierres dans la vallée, Je mettrai à nu ses fondements.
