Micah 1:8–16

^8yTherefore I will ^zwail and howl,

I will go ^astript and ^bnaked:

I will make a wailing like ^cdthe dragons,

And mourning as ^cethe owls.

⁹For ^fher wound is incurable;

For it is come unto Judah;

^gHe is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

^10hDeclare ye it not at ⁱGath, weep ye not at all:

In the house of ^kAphrah ^lroll thyself in the dust.

¹¹Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, ⁿhaving thy shame naked:

The inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel;

He shall receive of you his standing.

¹²For the inhabitant of ^pMaroth ^qwaited carefully for good:

But ^revil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.

¹³O thou inhabitant of ^sLachish, bind the chariot to ^tthe swift beast:

She is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion:

For ^uthe transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

¹⁴Therefore shalt thou give ^vpresents to ^wMoresheth-gath:

The houses of ^xAchzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

^15xxYet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of ^xMareshah:

He shall come unto ^yAdullam the glory of Israel.

^16zMake thee bald, and ^apoll thee for ^bthy delicate children;

^zEnlarge thy baldness ^cas the eagle;

For ^dthey are gone into captivity from thee.
