Micheas 1:5
For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- In scelere Jacob omne istud, et in peccatis domus Israël. Quod scelus Jacob ? nonne Samaria ? et quæ excelsa Judæ ? nonne Jerusalem ?
- Septuagint (Swete)
- διὰ ἀσέβειαν Ἰακὼβ πάντα ταῦτα, καὶ διὰ ἁμαρτίαν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. τίς ἡ ἀσέβεια τοῦ Ἰακώβ, οὐ Σαμάρεια; καὶ τίς ἡ ἁμαρτία οἴκου Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ;

Haydock's commentary
Jerusalem. High places were left there under Joathan, 4 Kings xv. 35. Achab had introduced the worship of Baal into Samaria, and though the family of Jehu repressed this worship, it gained ground when Micheas appeared. (Calmet)
This conduct excited God's indignation. (Haydock)
He came to punish the most guilty. (Calmet)
