Micah 1:10–16
10Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.↗
11Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.↗
12For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.↗
13Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.↗
14Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.↗
15I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.↗
16Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!↗
