Micah 1:6-7
Micah 1:6-7 The Message (MSG)
“I’m turning Samaria into a heap of rubble, a vacant lot littered with garbage. I’ll dump the stones from her buildings in the valley and leave her abandoned foundations exposed. All her carved and cast gods and goddesses will be sold for stove wood and scrap metal, All her sacred fertility groves burned to the ground, All the sticks and stones she worshiped as gods, destroyed. These were her earnings from her life as a whore. This is what happens to the fees of a whore.” * * *
Micah 1:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
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. 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.
Micah 1:6-7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country, Planting places for a vineyard. I will pour her stones down into the valley And will lay bare her foundations. All of her idols will be smashed, All of her earnings will be burned with fire And all of her images I will make desolate, For she collected them from a harlot’s earnings, And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
Micah 1:6-7 New Century Version (NCV)
“So I will make Samaria a pile of ruins in the open country, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones down into the valley and strip her down to her foundations. All her idols will be broken into pieces; all the gifts to her idols will be burned with fire. I will destroy all her idols, and because Samaria earned her money by being unfaithful to me, this money will be carried off by others who are not faithful to me.”
Micah 1:6-7 American Standard Version (ASV)
Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof. And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return.

Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Therefore I [the LORD] shall make Samaria a heap of ruins [and of stones and arable land] in the open country, A place for planting vineyards; And I will pour her stones down into the ravine And lay bare her foundations. [2 Kin 19:25; Ezek 13:14] All her idols shall be broken in pieces, All her earnings [from her idolatry] shall be burned with fire, And all her images I shall make desolate; For from the earnings of a prostitute she collected them, And to the earnings of a prostitute they shall return.

“So I, the LORD, will make the city of Samaria a heap of ruins. Her streets will be plowed up for planting vineyards.

These things were bought with the money earned by her prostitution, and they will now be carried away to pay prostitutes elsewhere.”
Micah 1:6-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
“So I will wrestle Samaria to the ground, and she will become nothing more than an open field for planting vines. I will roll the stones of her buildings down into the valley until I have laid bare her foundations. I will hammer to pieces all her gilded pagan idols, all the gifts given to her sacred prostitutes will be scorched by fire. I will turn all her precious idols into a pile of rubble. For she—Samaria—gathered her treasured idols as a prostitute collects her fees, and now these idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.”
