Micah 1:7-9
Revised Standard Version
7 All her images shall be beaten to pieces,
all her hires shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste;
for from the hire of a harlot she gathered them,
and to the hire of a harlot they shall return.
The Doom of the Cities of Judah
8 For this I will lament and wail;
I will go stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals,
and mourning like the ostriches.
9 For her wound[a] is incurable;
and it has come to Judah,
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.
