Micah 1:8-10
Contemporary English Version

Judah Is Doomed

8 Because of this tragedy,[a]
    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.

10 Don't tell it in Gath!
    Don't even cry.
Instead, roll in the dust
    at Beth-Leaphrah.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 1.8 this tragedy: Either the destruction of Samaria (verses 6,7) or the coming destruction of Judah and Jerusalem.
  2. 1.10 Gath … Beth-Leaphrah: Gath was a Philistine city; Beth-Leaphrah is unknown, but in Hebrew it sounds like “House of Dust.”
