Micah 1:8-16

8Because of this I must lament and wail, I must go 1barefoot and naked; I must make a lament like the 2jackals And a mourning like the ostriches.9For her 34wound is incurable, For 5it has come to Judah; It has reached the 6gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.107Tell it not in Gath, Weep not at all. At 8Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.119Go on your way, inhabitant of 10Shaphir, in 11shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of 1213Zaanan does not 14escape. The lamentation of 15Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its 16support.”12For the inhabitant of 17Maroth Becomes weak 18waiting for good, Because a calamity has come down from the Lord To the 19gate of Jerusalem.13Harness the chariot to the team of horses, O inhabitant of 20Lachish-- She was the beginning of sin To the daughter of Zion-- Because in you were found The 21rebellious acts of Israel.14Therefore you will give parting 22gifts On behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of 23Achzib will become a 24deception To the kings of Israel.15Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, O inhabitant of 2526Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter 27Adullam.16Make yourself 28bald and cut off your hair, Because of the children of your delight; Extend your baldness like the eagle, For they will 29go from you into exile.
