Micah 1:7-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;all her wages will be burned in the fire,and I will destroy all her idols.Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again for a prostitute.

8. Because of this I will lament and wail;I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like ostriches.

9. For her wound is incurable and has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.

10. Don’t announce it in Gath, don’t weep at all.Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.

11. Depart in shameful nakedness, you residents of Shaphir;the residents of Zaanan will not come out.Beth-ezel is lamenting;its support is taken from you.

12. Though the residents of Marothanxiously wait for something good, disaster has come from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
