Micah 1:7 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

7All her idols will be broken to pieces;

all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;

I will destroy all her images.

Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,

as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

7All of her idols will be crushed,

All of her earnings will be burned with fire,

And all of her images I will make desolate;

For she collected them from a prostitute’s earnings,

And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.

7All of her idols will be smashed,

All of her earnings will be burned with fire

And all of her images I will make desolate,

For she collected them from a harlot’s earnings,

And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.

7All her idols shall be broken in pieces,

All her earnings [from her idolatry] shall be burned with fire,

And all her images I shall make desolate;

For from the earnings of a prostitute she collected them,

And to the earnings of a prostitute they shall return.

7All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;

all her wages will be burned in the fire,

and I will destroy all her idols.

Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,

they will be used again on a prostitute.

7All the statues of Samaria’s gods

will be broken to pieces.

All the gifts its people gave to temple prostitutes

will be burned with fire.

I will destroy all the statues of its gods.

Samaria collected gifts that were paid to temple prostitutes.

So the Assyrians will use the gifts

to pay their own temple prostitutes.”
