Micah 1:6

as a heap Rather, into a heap (i.e. into ruins).

as plantings of a vineyard Rather, into the plantings, &c. Samaria should remain so long in ruins, that vineyards should be laid out upon it (comp. Isaiah 28:1 -the fat valley of those who are smitten down with wine").

I will pour down the stones Samaria standing on a hill (see 1 Kings 16:24). "There is every appearance of the ancient buildings having been destroyed, and their materials cast down from the brow of the hill, in order to clear the ground for cultivation; masses of stone are thus seen hanging on the steep sides of the hill, accidentally stopped in the progress of their descent by the rude dykes and terraces separating the fields." "The materials of the ruins … are piled up in large heaps, or used in the construction of rude stone fences; many of these heaps of stone are seen in the plains at the foot of the hill."
