Micah 1:4

Unya ang mga bukid matunaw sa ilalom niya, ug ang mga walog mabahin, sama sa talo sa atubangan sa kalayo, sama sa katubigan nga ibubo sa kimba nga dapit.

This verse describes how God's power will cause the earth to shake and change dramatically, with mountains melting like wax before a fire and valleys splitting open. It shows that God is in control of nature.

Explained for Children

Imagine if you were playing with your toys on a mountain made of wax. If someone turned on a big heater nearby, the mountain would start to melt and change shape. That's what this verse says will happen when God shows His power!
