Evidence: | 'Re-read 1st of Michah carefully. The first nine verses are intelligible. Samaria, the capital, taken as representing sin of all Israel. Jerusalem, the capital, or high places of Judah, v. 5. Therefore, in v. 6 introduces the condemnation of Samaria, and in v. 8 that of Jerusalem. The fourth verse is deeply interesting, of natural destruction: the volcanic melting and river-sculpture: the violence of both, for transgression of men' |
