Micah 1:11

Micah 1:11

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.

15 I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of ^aMareshah;
The glory of Israel shall come to ^bAdullam.

16 Make yourself ^abald and cut off your hair,
Because of your ^bprecious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into ^ccaptivity.

Pass ye away - The imperative is here put for the future; they shalt go into captivity. Saphir - Probably Samaria and Jerusalem. Naked - Stript by the conquering enemy. Zaanan - It is thought, this was a considerable garrison full of people and soldiers. Came not forth - To help their neighbouring town Beth - ezel. Beth - ezel - A strong town taken by the Assyrians. His standing - The enemy shall encamp among you, shall stand on your ground, so that you will have no opportunity of coming out to help your neighbours.
