Micah 1:8-16

The Doom of the Cities of Judah


8 For this I will lament and wail;
   I will go barefoot and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals,
   and mourning like the ostriches.
9 For her wound* is incurable.
   It has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
   to Jerusalem.


10 Tell it not in Gath,
   weep not at all;
in Beth-leaphrah
   roll yourselves in the dust.
11 Pass on your way,
   inhabitants of Shaphir,
   in nakedness and shame;
the inhabitants of Zaanan
   do not come forth;
Beth-ezel is wailing
   and shall remove its support from you.
12 For the inhabitants of Maroth
   wait anxiously for good,
yet disaster has come down from the Lord
   to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the steeds to the chariots,
   inhabitants of Lachish;
it was the beginning of sin
   to daughter Zion,
for in you were found
   the transgressions of Israel.
14 Therefore you shall give parting gifts
   to Moresheth-gath;
the houses of Achzib shall be a deception
   to the kings of Israel.
15 I will again bring a conqueror upon you,
   inhabitants of Mareshah;
the glory of Israel
   shall come to Adullam.
16 Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair
   for your pampered children;
make yourselves as bald as the eagle,
   for they have gone from you into exile.
