Micah 1:16

Micah's Lament

¹⁵
Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
O inhabitant of Mareshah (Prominent Place).
The glory (nobility) of Israel will enter Adullam [seeking refuge].
¹⁶ 
Make yourself bald [in mourning]—shave off your hair
For the children of your delight;
Remain as bald as the eagle,
For your children will be taken from you into exile.

Carried Away Captive

Go into Captivity

Gone into Captivity

Little Ones

Go Into Exile

And the end of it shall be like a bitter day.
