Mourning for Israel and Judah
I will go stripped and naked;
aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
For ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
The inhabitant of1 Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
But adisaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
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.
The houses of bAchzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
The glory of Israel shall come to bAdullam.
Because of your bprecious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into ccaptivity.
| << Micah 1:9 | Micah 1:11 >> |
