Micah 1:7-9
The Voice

7     I will shatter her images and burn her immoral riches with fire,
        and all her idols I will break down.
    They came from the earning of prostitutes, servants of other gods,
        and they will be used again to pay the wages of another prostitute.

8 Because of this, I will howl and wail;
    this is why I will go barefoot and naked,
Why I will scream like the jackals
    and screech like the ostriches as if in mourning.

9 Eternal One: For her wounds cannot be cured because Samaria’s transgression has reached Judah.
        It now has reached the gate of My people, even in Jerusalem.
