Micah 1:8-16

Micah 1:8-16 NCV

I will moan and cry because of this evil, going around barefoot and naked. I will cry loudly like the wild dogs and make sad sounds like the owls do, because Samaria’s wound cannot be healed. It will spread to Judah; it will reach the city gate of my people, all the way to Jerusalem. Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t cry in Acco. Roll in the dust at Beth Ophrah. Pass on your way, naked and ashamed, you who live in Shaphir. Those who live in Zaanan won’t come out. The people in Beth Ezel will cry, but they will not give you any support. Those who live in Maroth will be anxious for good news to come, because trouble will come from the LORD, all the way to the gate of Jerusalem. You people living in Lachish, harness the fastest horse to the chariot. Jerusalem’s sins started in you; yes, Israel’s sins were found in you. So you must give farewell gifts to Moresheth in Gath. The houses in Aczib will be false help to the kings of Israel. I will bring against you people who will take your land, you who live in Mareshah. The glory of Israel will go in to Adullam. Cut off your hair to show you are sad for the children you love. Make yourself bald like the eagle, because your children will be taken away to a foreign land.
