New Living Translation

Micah 1:6-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

6. “So I, the lord, will make the city of Samariaa heap of ruins.Her streets will be plowed upfor planting vineyards.I will roll the stones of her walls into the valley below,exposing her foundations.

7. All her carved images will be smashed.All her sacred treasures will be burned.These things were bought with the moneyearned by her prostitution,and they will now be carried awayto pay prostitutes elsewhere.”

8. Therefore, I will mourn and lament.I will walk around barefoot and naked.I will howl like a jackaland moan like an owl.

9. For my people’s woundis too deep to heal.It has reached into Judah,even to the gates of Jerusalem.

10. Don’t tell our enemies in Gath;don’t weep at all.You people in Beth-leaphrah,roll in the dust to show your despair.
