Micah 1:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Thou that dwellest at [a]Shaphir, go together naked with shame: she that dwelleth at Zaanan, shall not come forth in the mourning of Beth Ezel: the enemy shall [b]receive of you for his standing.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited for good, but evil came from the Lord unto the [c]gate of Jerusalem.
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the beasts [d]of price: she [e]is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
