Micah 1:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ Then Micah said, “Because of this I will mourn and lament. To show my sorrow, I will walk around barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and wail like an ostrich. ⁹ Samaria's wounds cannot be healed, and Judah is about to suffer in the same way; destruction has reached the gates of Jerusalem itself, where my people live.”

The Enemy Approaches Jerusalem

¹⁰ Don't tell our enemies in Gath about our defeat; don't let them see you weeping. People of Beth Leaphrah,^[a] show your despair by rolling in the dust!
