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.

The Temple Mount will be a wooded hill."' "Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone in Judah kill him?

How he has removed it from me, dividing up our fields!' "This is why there will not be left even a single person to settle boundary disputes in the LORD's community. To those who speak out, they will declare, "Don't prophesy to anyone!' so their shame won't go away. "It is said, house of Jacob, "The Spirit of the LORD is limited, if he acts this way, is he not?' "But my words benefit those who live righteously, do they not? Lately my people have acted like an enemy you strip travelers who thought they were as secure as those who return from war. You have evicted the wives of my people from their dream homes; you have removed my majesty from their children permanently. "Get up and go, because there's no rest for you here! Since everything is polluted, it can only cause destruction, even heavy destruction. Suppose a man who keeps company with a deceiving spirit prophesies like this: "Drink wine and strong drink!' Won't the people accept him as a prophet?"
