Micah 1:9-15

9For her 1wound is incurable, For 2it has come to Judah; It has reached the 3gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.10 4Do not tell it in Gath, Do not weep at all. At 5Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.11 6Go on your way, inhabitant of 7Shaphir, in 8shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of 9 10Zaanan does not 11escape. The mourning of 12Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its 13support.”12For the inhabitant of 14Maroth 15 16Waits for something good, Because a disaster has come down from the Lord To the 17gate of Jerusalem.13Harness the chariot to the team of horses, You 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 In behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of 21Achzib will become a 22 23deception To the kings of Israel.15Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, You inhabitant of 24 25Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter 26Adullam.
