Micah 1:10-16 - The Enemy Approaches Jerusalem

¹⁰ Tell it not in Gath. Weep not at all. I have rolled myself in the dust at Beth-le-aphrah. ¹¹ Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it. ¹² For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from LORD to the gate of Jerusalem. ¹³ Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. ¹⁴ Therefore thou shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel. ¹⁵ I will yet bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess thee. The glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam. ¹⁶ Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the sons of thy delight. Enlarge thy baldness as the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from thee.
