Micah 1:9

Micah 1:9

7 All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her ^apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the ^bpay of a harlot.”

Mourning for Israel and Judah

8 Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
^aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,

9 For her wounds are incurable.
For ^ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.

10 ^aTell it not in¹ Gath,
Weep not at all;
In Beth Aphrah
Roll yourself in the dust.

11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of¹ Shaphir;
The inhabitant of¹ Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.

12 For the inhabitant of¹ Maroth pined for good,
But ^adisaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.

13 O inhabitant of ^aLachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were ^bfound in you.

14 Therefore you shall ^agive presents to Moresheth Gath;
The houses of ^bAchzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

<< Micah 1:8

Micah 1:10 >>

Her wound is incurable - Nothing shall prevent their utter ruin, for they have filled up the measure of their iniquity.

He is come - even to Jerusalem - The desolation and captivity of Israel shall first take place; that of Judah shall come after.
