Mi 1-2 (King James)

   ¹ The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. ² Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple. ³ For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. ⁴ And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place. ⁵ For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? ⁶ Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. ⁷ And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
   ⁸ Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. ⁹ For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. ¹¹ Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing. ¹² For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. ¹³ O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. ¹⁴ Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. ¹⁵ Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. ¹⁶ Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

Michée 2

   ¹ Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. ² And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. ³ Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. ⁴ In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields. ⁵ Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
   ⁶ Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. ⁷ O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? ⁸ Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. ⁹ The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. ¹⁰ Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. ¹¹ If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
   ¹² I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. ¹³ The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

Mi 1-2 (Vulgate)

¹ Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Michæam Morasthiten, in diebus Joathan, Achaz, et Ezechiæ, regum Juda, quod vidit super Samariam et Jerusalem.
   ² [Audite, populi omnes,
et attendat terra, et plenitudo ejus :
et sit Dominus Deus vobis in testem,
Dominus de templo sancto suo.
   ³ Quia ecce Dominus egredietur de loco suo,
et descendet, et calcabit super excelsa terræ.
   ⁴ Et consumentur montes subtus eum,
et valles scindentur sicut cera a facie ignis,
et sicut aquæ quæ decurrunt in præceps.
   ⁵ In scelere Jacob omne istud,
et in peccatis domus Israël.
Quod scelus Jacob ? nonne Samaria ?
et quæ excelsa Judæ ? nonne Jerusalem ?
   ⁶ Et ponam Samariam quasi acervum lapidum in agro,
cum plantatur vinea ;
et detraham in vallem lapides ejus,
et fundamenta ejus revelabo.
   ⁷ Et omnia sculptilia ejus concidentur,
et omnes mercedes ejus comburentur igne,
et omnia idola ejus ponam in perditionem,
quia de mercedibus meretricis congregata sunt,
et usque ad mercedem meretricis revertentur.
   ⁸ Super hoc plangam, et ululabo ;
vadam spoliatus, et nudus ;
faciam planctum velut draconum,
et luctum quasi struthionum :
   ⁹ quia desperata est plaga ejus,
quia venit usque ad Judam ;
tetigit portam populi mei usque ad Jerusalem.
   ¹⁰ In Geth nolite annuntiare ;
lacrimis ne ploretis ;
in domo pulveris pulvere vos conspergite.
   ¹¹ Et transite vobis, habitatio pulchra, confusa ignominia :
non est egressa quæ habitat in exitu :
planctum domus vicina accipiet ex vobis, quæ stetit sibimet.
   ¹² Quia infirmata est in bonum,
quæ habitat in amaritudinibus ;
quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Jerusalem.
   ¹³ Tumultus quadrigæ stuporis habitanti Lachis :
principium peccati est filiæ Sion,
quia in te inventa sunt scelera Israël.
   ¹⁴ Propterea dabit emissarios super hæreditatem Geth,
domus mendacii in deceptionem regibus Israël.
   ¹⁵ Adhuc hæredem adducam tibi quæ habitas in Maresa ;
usque ad Odollam veniet gloria Israël.
   ¹⁶ Decalvare, et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum ;
dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila,
quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te.]

Michée 2

   ¹ [Væ qui cogitatis inutile,
et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris !
In luce matutina faciunt illud,
quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum.
   ² Et concupierunt agros, et violenter tulerunt :
et rapuerunt domos,
et calumniabantur virum, et domum ejus :
virum, et hæreditatem ejus.
   ³ Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce ego cogito super familiam istam malum,
unde non auferetis colla vestra,
et non ambulabitis superbi :
quoniam tempus pessimum est.
   ⁴ In die illa sumetur super vos parabola,
et cantabitur canticum cum suavitate, dicentium :
Depopulatione vastati sumus ;
pars populi mei commutata est :
quomodo recedet a me, cum revertatur,
qui regiones nostras dividat ?
   ⁵ Propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in cœtu Domini.
   ⁶ Ne loquamini loquentes ;
non stillabit super istos, non comprehendet confusio.
   ⁷ Dicit domus Jacob :
Numquid abbreviatus est spiritus Domini,
aut tales sunt cogitationes ejus ?
nonne verba mea bona sunt cum eo qui recte graditur ?
   ⁸ et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit.
Desuper tunica pallium sustulistis :
et eos qui transibant simpliciter convertistis in bellum.
   ⁹ Mulieres populi mei ejecistis de domo deliciarum suarum ;
a parvulis earum tulistis laudem meam in perpetuum.
   ¹⁰ Surgite, et ite, quia non habetis hic requiem :
propter immunditiam ejus corrumpetur putredine pessima.
   ¹¹ Utinam non essem vir habens spiritum,
et mendacium potius loquerer !
Stillabo tibi in vinum et in ebrietatem ;
et erit super quem stillatur populus iste.
   ¹² Congregatione congregabo, Jacob, totum te ;
in unum conducam reliquias Israël :
pariter ponam illum quasi gregem in ovili,
quasi pecus in medio caularum :
tumultuabuntur a multitudine hominum.
   ¹³ Ascendet enim pandens iter ante eos :
divident, et transibunt portam,
et ingredientur per eam :
et transibit rex eorum coram eis,
et Dominus in capite eorum.]
