Micah 1:5

For the transgression of Jacob is all this--All these terrors attending Jehovah's coming are caused by the sins of Jacob or Israel, that is, the whole people.

What is the transgression of Jacob?--Taking up the question often in the mouths of the people when reproved, "What is our transgression?" (compare Malachi 1:6-7), He answers, Is it not Samaria? Is not that city (the seat of the calf-worship) the cause of Jacob's apostasy (1 Kings 14:16; 1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 15:34; 1 Kings 16:13, 1 Kings 16:19, 1 Kings 16:25, 1 Kings 16:30)?

and what are the high places of Judah?--What city is the cause of the idolatries on the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem (compare 2 Kings 18:4)?
