Micah 1:6-16

6Therefore will I makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as a heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, as plantings of a vineyardH3754; and I will pourH5064 down the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will lay bare the foundationsH3247 thereof. 7And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784, and all her idolsH6091 will I makeH7760 a desolationH8077; for of the hireH868 of a harlot hath she gatheredH6908 [them], and to a harlot's hireH868 shall they returnH7725. 8For this will I lamentH5594, and I will howl; I will go stripped and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the jackalsH8577, and mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284. 9For her woundsH4347 are incurableH605; for it is comeH935 even unto JudahH3063, it reacheth unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. 10TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, weepH1058 not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah rollH6428 thyself in the dustH6083. 11PassH5674 awayH3947, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shameH1322. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not comeH3318 forthH3318 for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will takeH3947 from you its shelter. 12For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for goodH2896; but evilH7451 hath comeH3381 down from Jehovah unto the gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389. 13Bind the chariotH4818 to the swift steed, O inhabitress of LachishH3923: she was the beginning of sinH2403 to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; for in thee were foundH4672 the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478. 14ThereforeH3651 shalt thou giveH5414 parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the housesH1004 of Achzib shall be a lie to the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 15I will yetH5750 bringH935 unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of MareshahH4762; the gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935 even unto AdullamH5725. 16MakeH7139 thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlargeH7337 thy baldnessH7144 as the eagleH5404, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
