Micah 1:4

Micah 1:4
New English Translation
4 The mountains will crumble[a] beneath him,
and the valleys will split apart[b]
like wax before a fire,
like water dumped down a steep slope.
Footnotes
- Micah 1:4 tn Or “melt” (NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This is a figurative description of earthquakes, landslides, and collapse of the mountains, rather than some sort of volcanic activity (note the remainder of the verse).
- Micah 1:4 tn Or “rupture.” This may refer to the appearance of a valley after the blockage of a landslide has effectively divided it.
