‏ Micah 1:4

4 The mountains will crumble ^{▼▼tn Or “melt” (NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This is a figurative description of earthquakes, landslides, and collapse of the mountains, rather than some sort of volcanic activity (note the remainder of the verse).} beneath him,
and the valleys will split apart ^{▼▼tn Or “rupture.” This may refer to the appearance of a valley after the blockage of a landslide has effectively divided it.}
like wax before a fire,
like water dumped down a steep slope.
