Micah 1:7-9

Jonah 4 Micah 2

Micah 1:7-9 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

⁷All her images shall be beaten to pieces,
    all her wages shall be burned with fire,
    and all her idols I will lay waste;
for as the wages of a prostitute she gathered them,
    and as the wages of a prostitute they shall again be used.

The Doom of the Cities of Judah

⁸For this I will lament and wail;
    I will go barefoot and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals,
    and mourning like the ostriches.
⁹For her wound^[a] is incurable.
    It has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
    to Jerusalem.
