Micah 1:9-16
9For her 1wound is incurable, For 2it has come to Judah; It has reached the 3gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.104Do not tell it in Gath, Do not weep at all. At 5Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.116Go on your way, inhabitant of 7Shaphir, in 8shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of 910Zaanan does not 11escape. The mourning of 12Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its 13support.”12For the inhabitant of 14Maroth 1516Waits 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 2223deception To the kings of Israel.15Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, You inhabitant of 2425Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter 26Adullam.16Shave yourself 27bald, yes, cut off your hair, Because of the children of your delight; Extend your baldness like the eagle, For they will 28go from you into exile.
