Micah 1:6-16

6For I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 a 1heapH5856 of ruinsH5856 2in the open countryH7704, 3PlantingH4302 placesH4302 for a vineyardH3754. I will 4pourH5064 her stonesH68 downH5064 into the valleyH1516 And will 5layH1540 bareH1540 her foundationsH3247.7AllH3605 of her 6idolsH6456 will be smashedH3807, AllH3605 of her earningsH868 will be burnedH8313 with fireH784 And allH3605 of her imagesH6091 I will makeH7760 desolateH8077, For she collectedH6908 them from a 7harlot’sH2181 earningsH868, And to the earningsH868 of a harlotH2181 they will returnH7725.

8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must lamentH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 8barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must makeH6213 a lamentH4553 like the 9jackalsH8565 And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 1011woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 12it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 13gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.1014TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, WeepH1058 not at allH1058. At 15Beth-le-aphrahH1036 rollH6428 yourself in the dustH6083.1116GoH5674 on your wayH5674, inhabitantH3427 of 17ShaphirH8208, in 18shamefulH1322 nakednessH6181. The inhabitantH3427 of 1920ZaananH6630 does not 21escapeH3318. The lamentationH4553 of 22Beth-ezelH1018: “He will takeH3947 from you its 23supportH5979.”12For the inhabitantH3427 of 24MarothH4796 BecomesH2342 weakH2470 25waitingH2342 for goodH2896, BecauseH3588 a calamityH7451 has comeH3381 downH3381 from the LordH3068 To the 26gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389.13HarnessH7573 the chariotH4818 to the team of horsesH7409, O inhabitantH3427 of 27LachishH3923-- She was the beginningH7225 of sinH2403 To the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726-- BecauseH3588 in you were foundH4672 The 28rebelliousH6588 actsH6588 of IsraelH3478.14ThereforeH3651 you will giveH5414 partingH7964 29giftsH7964 On behalfH5921 of Moresheth-gathH4182; The housesH1004 of 30AchzibH392 will become a 31deceptionH391 To the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.15MoreoverH5750, I will bringH935 on you The one who takesH3423 possessionH3423, O inhabitantH3427 of 3233MareshahH4762. The gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478 will enterH935 34AdullamH5725.16MakeH7139 yourself 35baldH7139 and cutH1494 offH1494 your hairH1494, BecauseH3588 of the childrenH1121 of your delightH8588; ExtendH7337 your baldnessH7144 like the eagleH5404, For they will 36goH1540 from you into exileH1540.
