Mikhah the Morashti prophesied in the days of Chizkiyahu king of Yehudah; and he spoke to all the people of Yehudah, saying, Thus says the LORD of Armies: Tziyon shall be plowed as a field, and Yerushalayim shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
The word of the LORD that came to Mikhah the Morashti in the days of Yotam, Achaz, and Chizkiyahu, kings of Yehudah, which he saw concerning Shomron and Yerushalayim.
But one stood up in the council, a Parush named Gamli'el, a teacher of the Torah, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the emissaries out for a little while.
