Micah 1:4

World English Bible

The mountains melt under him,
and the valleys split apart,
like wax before the fire,
like waters that are poured down a steep place.

Micah 1:4 in other translations

And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.

2Hear, you peoples, all of you.
Listen, O earth, and all that is therein:
and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.
3For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place,
and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4The mountains melt under him,
and the valleys split apart,
like wax before the fire,
like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5“All this is for the disobedience of Jacob,
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the disobedience of Jacob?
Isn’t it Samaria?
And what are the high places of Judah?
Aren’t they Jerusalem?
6Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field,
like places for planting vineyards;
and I will pour down its stones into the valley,
and I will uncover its foundations.
