Micah 1:15–16

15 I will again bring a conqueror to you,

inhabitants of Mareshah;

the glory of Israel

shall come to Adullam.

16 Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair,

for the children of your delight;

make yourselves as bald as the eagle,

for they shall go from you into exile.

15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah:

He shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children;

Enlarge thy baldness as the eagle;

For they are gone into captivity from thee.

15 O people of Mareshah,

I will bring a conqueror to capture your town.

And the leaders of Israel

will go to Adullam.

16 Oh, people of Judah, shave your heads in sorrow,

for the children you love will be snatched away.

Make yourselves as bald as a vulture,

for your little ones will be exiled to distant lands.

15 I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah;

The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

16 Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,

Because of your precious children;

Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,

For they shall go from you into captivity.

15 I will bring against you people who will take your land,

you who live in Mareshah.

The glory of Israel

will go in to Adullam.

16 Cut off your hair to show you are sad

for the children you love.

Make yourself bald like the eagle,

because your children will be taken away to a foreign land.

15 I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee: the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. 16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

15 I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. 16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.

15 I will again bring a conqueror against the inhabitants of Mareshah. 

The glory of Israel will come to Adullam. 

16 Shave your head in mourning for the children you love. 

Make yourselves as bald as vultures 

because your children will be taken from you into exile. 

15 I will again bring a conqueror

against you who live in Mareshah.

The nobility of Israel will come to Adullam.

16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair

in sorrow for your precious children;

make yourselves as bald as an eagle,

for they have been taken from you into exile.

15 I will again bring a conqueror upon you,

inhabitants of Mareshah;

the glory of Israel

shall come to Adullam.

16 Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair

for your pampered children;

make yourselves as bald as the eagle,

for they have gone from you into exile.

15 I will again bring the conqueror upon you,

O inhabitants of Mareshah;

the glory of Israel

will come to Adullam.

16 Make yourselves bald

and cut off your hair

for the children of your pleasure.

Expand your baldness as the eagle,

for they will go into exile away from you.

15 An enemy will attack

you who live in Mareshah.

Israel’s glorious leaders will have to run away

and hide in the cave of Adullam.

16 The children you enjoy so much

will be taken away as prisoners.

So shave your heads and sob.

Make them as bare as the head of a vulture.

15 Moreover, I will bring on you

The one who takes possession,

O inhabitant of Mareshah.

The glory of Israel will enter Adullam.

16 Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,

Because of the children of your delight;

Extend your baldness like the eagle,

For they will go from you into exile.
