Micah 1:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 Samaria’s[a] wound cannot be healed.
Her disease has spread to Judah.
It has reached the city gate of my people;
it has spread all the way to Jerusalem.
10 Don’t tell it in Gath.[b]
Don’t cry in Acco.[c]
Roll yourself in the dust
at Beth Ophrah.[d]
11 You people living in Shaphir,[e]
pass on your way, naked and ashamed.
The people living in Zaanan[f]
will not come out.
The people in Beth Ezel[g] will cry
and take their support from you.
