Because of this I [Micah] must lament (mourn over with expressions of grief) and wail,
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.
Therefore you will give parting gifts
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 one will take up a taunt against you, and lament mournfully, saying: We are totally ruined! He measures out the allotted land of my people. How He removes [it] from me! He allots our fields to traitors. Therefore, there will be no one in the assembly of the Lord to divide the land by casting lots. "Stop your preaching," they preach. "They should not preach these things; shame will not overtake us." House of Jacob, should it be asked: "Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient? Are these the things He does?" Don't My words bring good to the one who walks uprightly? But recently My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from those who are passing through confidently, like those returning from war. You force the women of My people out of their comfortable homes, and you take My blessing from their children forever. Get up and leave, for this is not your place of rest, because defilement brings destruction- a grievous destruction! If a man of spirit comes and invents lies: "I will preach to you about wine and beer," he would be just the preacher for this people!
