RBT Paraphrase
1 The alignment of
He Is, which has become toward Who is Like Her ("Micah") the Inheritor ("Moreshite") within the days of He Is Complete, He Grasped, He Is Strengthening ("Yehizkiyah"), kings of Caster ("Judah") whom he beheld upon
Watch Station ("Samaria") and
Foundation of Peace ("Jerusalem").
2 Peoples have heard, all of themselves!
Cause to hearken an earth, and the fullness of herself! And he is becoming, the inner master of myself ("Adoni")
He Is,
within yourselves for a witness of the inner master of myself ("Adoni") from the temple of the holy one of himself!
3 For behold!
He Is, he came from out of the Standing Place of himself,
and he has climbed down, and he has tread around upon
the heights of the
earth!
4 And the Mountains have melted underneath himself
and the Valleys are cleaving themselves apart; like wax from the faces of
the Fire like the dual waters flowing within the descent.5 All of
this is within the rebellion of Heel-Chaser,
and within the misses of the house of God Contends ("Israel"), who is the rebellion of Heel-Chaser? Is it not
Watch Station ("
Samaria")?
And who are the high places of Caster ("Judah")? Is it not
Foundation of Peace?
6 And I have set
Watch Station into a trash heap of
the Field,
for the plantation of a vineyard and I have caused
the stones of herself to flow into the Valley
and her bases/foundations I have exposed!7 And all her carved images are being smashed
and all the payments of herself are being set on fire within a fire and all her idol images I am setting
a wasteland because she gathered from the payment of a prostitute and they are turning back until the
payment of a prostitute.
A Lament according to the Dragons
8 Against
this one I am mourning and I am howling,
I am walking barefoot and naked I am making a Lament according to the Dragons
and a Mourning according to the Daughters the Ostrich.9 For she who is incurable,
the blows/wounds of herself,
for she has come in all the way to Caster ("Judah"), he reached all the way to the gate of my People,
all the way to Foundation of Peace.10 In Winepress ("Gath") do not expose/announce
in Fortified/Harbor ("Akkū") do not weep within the
House of To Dust I have wallowed/rolled myself in dust.11 Cross over to yourselves, she who sits in Beauty ("Shaphir"),
in her cities of shame! She has not gone out, she who sits in
Flock ("
Tsanan"),
a lament in the House of The Beside ("Beth-Etzel"), he is taking away from yourselves his
standing position!
12 For she has whirled around to a
good,
she who sits on Bitter Springs ("Maroth"), for a friend has climbed down from self-eternal
He Is to the gate of Foundation of Peace!13 Yoke up the Chariot to the Swift Steed,
she who sits in Obstinate ("Lachish"), herself is
a head of
a miss to the daughter of Inner-SignPost ("Zion"),
for within yourself rebellious ones of God Contends were found! 14 Therefore
you are giving dismissals/sent away ones upon the occupation of Winepress ("Moresheth Gath"), houses of Deception ("Achzib") are for a deception
to the kings of God Contends.15 A witness, one who dispossesses, I am causing to come to yourself
she who sits upon Summit/Head place ("Mareshah"), a witness of Justice of the People ("Adul-am"),
the glory of God Contends is coming!No Hair
16 Shave bald and shear upon the sons of the exquisite delights of yourself,
make expansive your bald one like the eagle for they were removed/stripped from yourself!

Notes
| Mic. 1:1 | Mic. 1:1 Micah's name in this form, has been interpreted as an "abbreviation" of "Micayah" because it does not contain Yah . As written however it relates to either "like thus/this manner" or the longer form "like her." Cf. Hebrew kemoah "like her" in 1 Samuel 21:10:
And Beloved ("David") is saying, "There is none like herself, give her to myself!" |
| Mic. 1:10 | Mic. 1:10 The name ʿAkkū (or עַכּוֹ in Hebrew) is typically interpreted as referring to the ancient city of Akko (Acre). As for the meaning of the name ʿAkkū, it is believed to be of Semitic origin, and scholars suggest a few possible meanings:
-
"The strong" or "the fortified":
The name may come from a root related to strength or fortification, reflecting the city's strategic coastal location and its well-defended position. This interpretation aligns with the city’s role throughout history as a fortified stronghold.
-
"The place of the tide" or "the place of the bay":
Some interpretations focus on the geographical features of Akko, suggesting that ʿAkkū may refer to a location near the sea or a bay, possibly alluding to the tidal nature of the area or the harbor.
|
| Mic. 1:11 | Mic. 1:11 The Hebrew word "עריה" (ʿăryāh) can mean "her cities" or "naked", depending on the context.
- If it comes from "עיר" (ʿîr, meaning "city") in the possessive form, it means "her cities."
- If it comes from "עריה" (ʿăryāh) as a form of "ערום" (ʿārôm, meaning "naked"), it can mean "nakedness" or "bare."
