Micah 1 5

All these bad things will happen because Jacob's people have refused to obey God. These things will happen because Israel's people have done wrong things. You may ask who has caused this. It is the leaders in your capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem. They have kept the high places there for people to offer gifts to false gods.
