Micah:1:8-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For this I will lament and wail ;
I will go stripped and naked ;
I will make lamentation like the jackals ,
and mourning like the ostriches .
*
For her wound is incurable ;
and it has come to Judah ,
it has reached to the gate of my people ,
to Jerusalem .
*
Tell it not in Gath ,
weep not at all ;
in Beth-le-aph '
rah roll yourselves in the dust .
*
Pass on your way ,
inhabitants of Shaphir ,
in nakedness and shame ;
the inhabitants of Za '
anan do not come forth ;
the wailing of Beth-e '
zel shall take away from you its standing place .
*
For the inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good ,
because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem .
*
Harness the steeds to the chariots ,
inhabitants of Lachish ;
you were the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion ,
for in you were found the transgressions of Israel .
*
Therefore you shall give parting gifts to Mo '
resheth-gath ;
the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel .
*
I will again bring a conqueror upon you ,
inhabitants of Mare '
shah ;
the glory of Israel shall come to Adullam .
*
Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair ,
for the children of your delight ;
make yourselves as bald as the eagle ,
for they shall go from you into exile .
