1 And the word of the Lord came to Micah the son of Moresheth, in the days of Jotham, and Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, concerning what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
1 PALABRA de Jehová que fué á Miqueas de Morasti en días de Jotham, Achâz, y Ezechîas, reyes de Judá: lo que vió sobre Samaria y Jerusalem.
2 Hear [these] words, ye people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
2 Oid, pueblos todos: está atenta, tierra, y todo lo que en ella hay: y el Señor Jehová, el Señor desde su santo templo sea testigo contra vosotros.
3 For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth.
3 Porque he aquí, Jehová sale de su lugar, y descenderá, y hollará sobre las alturas de la tierra.
4 And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
4 Y debajo de él se derretirán los montes, y los valles se hendirán como la cera delante del fuego, como las aguas que corren por un precipicio.
5 All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Judah? [is it] not Jerusalem?
5 Todo esto por la rebelión de Jacob, y por los pecados de la casa de Israel. ¿Cuál es la rebelión de Jacob? ¿no es Samaria? ¿Y cuáles son los excelsos de Judá? ¿no es Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a storehouse of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
6 Pondré pues á Samaria en majanos de heredad, en tierra de viñas; y derramaré sus piedras por el valle, y descubriré sus fundamentos.
7 And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
7 Y todas sus estatuas serán despedazadas, y todos sus dones serán quemados en fuego, y asolaré todos sus ídolos; porque de dones de rameras los juntó, y á dones de rameras volverán.
8 Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
8 Por tanto lamentaré y aullaré, y andaré despojado y desnudo; haré gemido como de chacales, y lamento como de avestruces.
9 For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Judah; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
9 Porque su llaga es dolorosa, que llegó hasta Judá; llegó hasta la puerta de mi pueblo, hasta Jerusalem.
10 Ye that are in Gath, exalt not yourselves, and ye Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
10 No lo digáis en Gath, ni lloréis mucho: revuélcate en el polvo de Beth-le-aphrah.
11 The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
11 Pásate desnuda con vergüenza, oh moradora de Saphir: la moradora de Saanán no salió al llanto de Beth-esel: tomará de vosotros su tardanza.
12 Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem,
12 Porque la moradora de Maroth tuvo dolor por el bien; por cuanto el mal descendió de Jehová hasta la puerta de Jerusalem.
13 [even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachish, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Zion: for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
13 Unce al carro dromedarios, oh moradora de Lachîs, que fuiste principio de pecado á la hija de Sión; porque en ti se inventaron las rebeliones de Israel.
14 Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Gath, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel;
14 Por tanto, tú darás dones á Moreseth-gath: las casas de Achzib serán en mentira á los reyes de Israel.
15 until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachish: the inheritance shall reach to Adullam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
15 Aun te traeré heredero, oh moradora de Maresah: la gloria de Israel vendrá hasta Adullam.
16 Shave thy hair, and make thyself bald for thy delicate children; increase thy widowhood as an eagle; for [thy people] are gone into captivity from thee.
16 Mésate y trasquílate por los hijos de tus delicias: ensancha tu calva como águila; porque fueron trasportados de ti.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Micah also names the same times as those of his prophecy, after the days of Uzziah; for he names the same three kings as Hosea named,--Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.

… in the future tense: for instance, He shall come openly, and this from Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
