Micah 1:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be broken, and all the [a]gifts thereof shall be burnt with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I destroy: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return [b]to the wages of an harlot.
8 Therefore I will mourn and howl: I will go without clothes, and naked: I will make lamentation like the dragons, and mourning as the ostriches.
9 For her plagues are grievous: for it is come into Judah: the enemy is come unto the gate of my people, unto Jerusalem.
