For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. (Micah 1:3)
Verses 3, 4 present a grand and awful figurative description of the coming of the divine judgment upon Samaria and Jerusalem. Compare
Isa. 26:21.
That is,
“his holy temple” (
v. 2).
Figuratively, God is represented as descending and walking upon the tops of the mountains and hills (see
Amos 4:13).
