Micah 1:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Samaria's idols will be smashed,
    and the wages
of temple prostitutes^[a]
    will be destroyed by fire.
Silver and gold from those idols
will then be used by foreigners
    as payment for prostitutes.

⁸ Because of this tragedy,^[b]
    I go barefoot and naked.
My crying and weeping
sound like howling wolves
    or ostriches.
⁹ The nation is fatally wounded.
Judah is doomed.
    Jerusalem will fall.
