Micah 1:10-12

Jonah 4 Micah 2

Micah 1:10-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁰Don’t tell our enemies in Gath^[a];
    don’t weep at all.
You people in Beth-leaphrah,^[b]
    roll in the dust to show your despair.
¹¹You people in Shaphir,^[c]
    go as captives into exile—naked and ashamed.
The people of Zaanan^[d]
    dare not come outside their walls.
The people of Beth-ezel^[e] mourn,
    for their house has no support.
¹²The people of Maroth^[f] anxiously wait for relief,
    but only bitterness awaits them
as the Lord’s judgment reaches
    even to the gates of Jerusalem.

1:11a Shaphir means “pleasant.”
1:11b Zaanan sounds like the Hebrew term for “come out.”
1:11c Beth-ezel means “adjoining house.”
1:12 Maroth sounds like the Hebrew term for “bitter.”

Micah 1:10-12 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰Tell it not in Gath^[a];
    weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah^[b]
    roll in the dust.
¹¹Pass by naked and in shame,
    you who live in Shaphir.^[c]
Those who live in Zaanan^[d]
    will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
    it no longer protects you.
¹²Those who live in Maroth^[e] writhe in pain,
    waiting for relief,
because disaster has come from the Lord,
    even to the gate of Jerusalem.
