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.

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

How he removes [it] from me; he apportions our field to an apostate." Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot in the assembly of Yahweh. "Do not preach!" they are preaching. They should not preach to these; disgrace will not overtake us. Should [this] be said, O house of Jacob? Is the patience of Yahweh shortened? [Are] these his deeds? Are my words not pleasing to him who walks upright? But {recently} my people have risen up as an enemy; from before the cloak you strip off the robe from those passing by [in] confidence, returning [from] war. You have driven out the women of my people from the houses of their pleasure. From their children you have taken away my glory forever.

If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies, [saying] "I will preach to you of wine and strong drink," then he would be a preacher [for] this people!
