Micah 1:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ All her carved idols will be crushed,
    and all her wages will be burned with fire.
    I will sentence all her useless images to destruction.
    Because she collected a prostitute’s wages to obtain them,
    they will become a prostitute’s wages again.

⁸ Because of this I must lament and grieve.
    I must walk barefoot and naked.
    I must howl like a jackal
    and make a mourning shriek like an ostrich,^[a]
9 because her plague is incurable.
    It has even spread to Judah.
    It has arrived at the gate of my people.
    It has come all the way up to Jerusalem.
