I must go barefoot and naked [without outer garments as if robbed];
I must wail like the jackals
And lament [with a loud, mournful cry] like the ostriches.

On behalf of Moresheth-gath (Micah’s home);
The houses of Achzib (Place of Deceit) will become a deception
To the kings of Israel.

In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us. For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord. Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob! Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel? As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war. The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever. Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you. If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
