Micah 1:7-9
Living Bible

7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; her ornate idol temples, built with the gifts of worshipers, will all be burned.[a]

8 I will wail and lament, howling as a jackal, mournful as an ostrich crying across the desert sands at night. I will walk naked and barefoot in sorrow and shame; 9 for my people’s wound is far too deep to heal. The Lord stands ready at Jerusalem’s gates to punish her.

Micah 1:7-9
New International Version

7 All her idols(A) will be broken to pieces;(B)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.(C)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(D)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

8 Because of this I will weep(E) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot(F) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.
9 For Samaria’s plague(G) is incurable;(H)
    it has spread to Judah.(I)
It has reached the very gate(J) of my people,
    even to Jerusalem itself.
