Weep and wail, because of Jacob’s transgression, because of the sins of the people of Israel. Micah 1

Micah 1:1-16
The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
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.
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.
In the prophet's lament, God is pictured coming down from heaven, treading upon the mountains, to destroy Samaria for her persistent idolatry. The gangrene has spread into Judah, and God's judgment is at the gates of Jerusalem. Micah pictures the approach of the invading army. Stronghold after stronghold falls. The order is not that of the Assyrian army's march, however' the towns encircle Micah's own home town of Moresheth-gath. The parents in Judah will mourn for their exiled children.
In 722/1 BC the Assyrians destroyed Samaria. In 701 they besieged Jerusalem, and the city escaped by a miracle. Micah most probably lived through both these traumatic events.
Why?
Because of Jacob's transgression and the sins of the people of Israel so Micah wrote this lament by vision of the Lord.
God knows what people down on the earth. God send many prophets to warn his people return from their sins, but they didn't care.
Idols and image makes Jacob and Israel fell into God's angry.
God gives every sinner opportunity to repent and turn to the Lord, but many people are hard neck.
How?
Fear the Lord for God is righteousness. Turn to the Lord will be full of joy.
