미가 1:6의 미드라쉬

R. Jeremiah b. Elazar said further: "A house, where the words of the Torah are heard even at night shall never be destroyed, it is said (Job 35, 10.) But the man who filleth the night with song, saith not, 'Where is God, my maker.'" R. Jeremiah b. Elazar said further: "Since the destruction of the Temple, it is sufficient for [the men of] the world to use only two letters [of the Holy Name, instead of four], as it is said (Ps. 150, 6.) Let every thing that hath breath, praise the Lord Hallelujah." R. Jeremiah b. Elazar said further: "When Babylon was cursed, it was a curse to its neighbors also; but when Samaria was cursed the neighbors were blessed because of it. When Babylon was cursed, it was a curse to its neighbors also, as it is written (Is. 14, 23.) I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water; whereas when Samaria was cursed, its neighbors were blessed, as it is written (Micha 1, 6.) Therefore will I change Samaria into stone heaps on the field, into plantations of vineyards [that could be put to use]."
