Micah 1:8-16

8Because of this I must mourn and wail, I must go 1barefoot and naked; I must do mourning like the 2jackals, And a mourning like the ostriches.9For her 3wound is incurable, For 4it has come to Judah; It has reached the 5gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.106Do not tell it in Gath, Do not weep at all. At 7Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.118Go on your way, inhabitant of 9Shaphir, in 10shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of 1112Zaanan does not 13escape. The mourning of 14Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its 15support.”12For the inhabitant of 16Maroth 1718Waits for something good, Because a disaster has come down from the Lord To the 19gate of Jerusalem.13Harness the chariot to the team of horses, You 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 In behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of 23Achzib will become a 2425deception To the kings of Israel.15Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, You inhabitant of 2627Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter 28Adullam.16Shave yourself 29bald, yes, cut off your hair, Because of the children of your delight; Extend your baldness like the eagle, For they will 30go from you into exile.
