Micah 1:13-15
New Century Version
Micah 1:13-15
New Century Version
13 You people living in Lachish,[a]
harness the fastest horse to the chariot.
Jerusalem’s sins started in you;
yes, Israel’s sins were found in you.
14 So you must give farewell gifts
to Moresheth[b] in Gath.
The houses in Aczib[c] will be false help
to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring against you people who will take your land,
you who live in Mareshah.[d]
The glory of Israel
will go in to Adullam.
