Micah 1:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ This will happen because of Jacob’s sin,
    because of the sins of the nation^[a] of Israel.

What caused Jacob to sin?
    It was Samaria.
Where is the high place in Judah?
    It is Jerusalem.
⁶ So I will change Samaria into a pile of rocks in the field,
    a place ready for planting grapes.
I will push Samaria’s stones down into the valley,
    leaving nothing but the foundations.
⁷ All her idols will be broken to pieces.
    And the offerings to her idols will be burned.
I will destroy all her statues of false gods,
    because she got them as pay for being a prostitute.
So those things will be taken away
    to be used again for paying prostitutes.
