Micah 1:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Thou that dwellest at [a]Shaphir, go together naked with shame: she that dwelleth at Zaanan, shall not come forth in the mourning of Beth Ezel: the enemy shall [b]receive of you for his standing.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited for good, but evil came from the Lord unto the [c]gate of Jerusalem.
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the beasts [d]of price: she [e]is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

Micah 1:11-13
New International Version
11 Pass by naked(A) and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.[a]
Those who live in Zaanan[b]
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
12 Those who live in Maroth[c] writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,(B)
because disaster(C) has come from the Lord,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,(D)
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(E) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
