1:3 Look, 1 the Lord is coming out of his dwelling place!
He will descend and march on the earth’s mountaintops! 2
1:4 The mountains will disintegrate 3 beneath him,
and the valleys will be split in two. 4
The mountains will melt 5 like wax in a fire,
the rocks will slide down like water cascading down a steep slope. 6
1:5 All this is because of Jacob’s rebellion
and 7 the sins of the nation 8 of Israel.
How has Jacob rebelled, you ask? 9
Samaria epitomizes their rebellion! 10
Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask? 11
They are right in Jerusalem! 12
