Michée 1:4-9
The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.All this is because of Jacob’s transgression, because of the sins of the people of Israel. What is Jacob’s transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah’s high place? Is it not Jerusalem?“ Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations.All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.For Samaria’s plague is incurable; it has spread to Judah. It has reached the very gate of my people, even to Jerusalem itself. (niv)

This is what the Lord says:“ For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not relent. They sell the innocent for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines.“ Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, though they were tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above and their roots below. (niv)

I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them. (niv)

Esaïe 28:1-4
Woe to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower, his glorious beauty, set on the head of a fertile valley— to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong. Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind, like a driving rain and a flooding downpour, he will throw it forcefully to the ground.That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s drunkards, will be trampled underfoot.That fading flower, his glorious beauty, set on the head of a fertile valley, will be like figs ripe before harvest— as soon as people see them and take them in hand, they swallow them.

Amos 8:14-9:10
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria— who say,‘ As surely as your god lives, Dan,’ or,‘ As surely as the god of Beersheba lives’— they will fall, never to rise again.”I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:“ Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape.Though they dig down to the depths below, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens above, from there I will bring them down.Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there I will hunt them down and seize them. Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them.Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them.“ I will keep my eye on them for harm and not for good.”The Lord, the Lord Almighty— he touches the earth and it melts, and all who live in it mourn; the whole land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt;he builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth; he calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name.“ Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites?” declares the Lord.“ Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?“ Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not totally destroy the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord.“ For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will reach the ground.All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say,‘ Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’ (niv)

Amos 3:9-15
Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt:“ Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.”“ They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,“ who store up in their fortresses what they have plundered and looted.”Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:“ An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”This is what the Lord says:“ As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued, with only the head of a bed and a piece of fabric from a couch.”“ Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.“ On the day I punish Israel for her sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished,” declares the Lord.

Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end.The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself— the Lord God Almighty declares:“ I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”If ten people are left in one house, they too will die.And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them asks anyone who might be hiding there,“ Is anyone else with you?” and he says,“ No,” then he will go on to say,“ Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”For the Lord has given the command, and he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits. (niv)

They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” (niv)
