Micah:1:8-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore shall she lament and wail ,
she shall go barefooted ,
and being naked she shall make lamentation as that of serpents ,
and mourning as of the daughters of sirens .
*
For her plague has become grievous ;
for it has come even to Juda ;
and has reached to the gate of my people ,
even to Jerusalem .
*
Ye that are in Geth ,
exalt not yourselves ,
and ye Enakim ,
do not rebuild from the ruins of the house in derision :
sprinkle dust in the place of your laughter .
*
The inhabitant of Sennaar ,
fairly inhabiting her cities ,
came not forth to mourn for the house next to her :
she shall receive of you the stroke of grief .
*
Who has begun to act for good to her that dwells in sorrow ?
for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem ,
*
even a sound of chariots and horsemen :
the inhabitants of Lachis ,
she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion :
for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel .
*
Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth ,
even vain houses ;
they are become vanity to the kings of Israel ;
*
until they bring the heirs ,
O inhabitant of Lachis :
the inheritance shall reach to Odollam ,
even the glory of the daughter of Israel .
*
Shave thine hair ,
and (

shear thyself (:

make thyself bald for thy delicate children ;
increase thy widowhood as an eagle ;
for thy people are gone into captivity from thee .
