Micah 1:12
Compare all
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.
