Micah 1:9-15

9For her 1 2wound is incurable, For 3it has come to Judah; It has reached the 4gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.10 5Tell it not in Gath, Weep not at all. At 6Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.11 7Go on your way, inhabitant of 8Shaphir, in 9shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of 10 11Zaanan does not 12escape. The lamentation of 13Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its 14support.”12For the inhabitant of 15Maroth Becomes weak 16waiting for good, Because a calamity has come down from the Lord To the 17gate of Jerusalem.13Harness the chariot to the team of horses, O inhabitant of 18Lachish-- She was the beginning of sin To the daughter of Zion-- Because in you were found The 19rebellious acts of Israel.14Therefore you will give parting 20gifts On behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of 21Achzib will become a 22deception To the kings of Israel.15Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, O inhabitant of 23 24Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter 25Adullam.
