Micah 1:10-12
GOD’S WORD Translation
10 Don’t report it in Gath. Don’t cry there.
Roll in the dust of Beth Leaphrah.[a]
11 Pass by, naked and ashamed, inhabitants of Shaphir.
Don’t come out, inhabitants of Zaanan.
Beth Ezel is in mourning.
It will take its support away from you.
12 Wait anxiously for good, inhabitants of Maroth.
From the Lord disaster will come on the gates of Jerusalem.

weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
roll in the dust.

you who live in Shaphir.[c]

waiting for relief,(B)
