Micah 1:10 in context

Micah 1:7–13

7

All her idols will be beaten to pieces,

all her temple gifts will be burned with fire,

and I will destroy all her images;

for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them,

and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”

8

For this I will lament and wail.

I will go stripped and naked.

I will howl like the jackals

and mourn like the ostriches.

9

For her wounds are incurable;

for it has come even to Judah.

It reaches to the gate of my people,

even to Jerusalem.

10
Selected verse

Don’t tell it in Gath.

Don’t weep at all.

At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.

11

Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame.

The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out.

The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.

12

For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good,

because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.

13

Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish.

She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion;

for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
