Micah 1:6-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
6
For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country,
Planting places for a vineyard.
I will hurl her stones down into the valley,
And lay bare her foundations.
7
All of her idols will be crushed,
All of her earnings will be burned with fire,
And all of her images I will make desolate;
For she collected
them
from a prostitute’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.
8
Because of this I must mourn and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked;
I must do mourning like the jackals,
And a mourning like the ostriches.
9
For her wound is incurable,
For it has come to Judah;
It has reached the gate of my people,
Even
to Jerusalem.
10
Do not tell
it
in Gath,
Do not weep at all.
At Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.
11
Go on your way, inhabitant of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness.
The inhabitant of Zaanan does not escape.
The mourning of Beth-ezel: 'He will take from you its support.'
12
For the inhabitant of Maroth
Waits for
something
good,
Because a disaster has come down from the
Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13
Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
You inhabitant of Lachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The rebellious acts of Israel.
14
Therefore you will give parting gifts
In behalf of Moresheth-gath;
The houses of Achzib
will
become a deception
To the kings of Israel.
15
Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
You inhabitant of Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter Adullam.
16
Shave yourself bald, yes, cut off your hair,
Because of the children of your delight;
Extend your baldness like the eagle,
For they will go from you into exile.
King James Version
Chapter 1
6
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9
For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the
Lord
unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
16
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
6
Therefore, I will make Samaria
a heap of ruins in the countryside,
a planting area for a vineyard.
I will roll her stones into the valley
and expose her foundations.
7
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;
all her wages will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,
they will be used again for a prostitute.
8
Because of this I will lament and wail;
I will walk barefoot and naked.
I will howl like the jackals
and mourn like ostriches.
9
For her wound is incurable
and has reached even Judah;
it has approached my people’s city gate,
as far as Jerusalem.
10
Don’t announce it in Gath,
don’t weep at all.
Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
11
Depart in shameful nakedness,
you residents of Shaphir;
the residents of Zaanan will not come out.
Beth-ezel is lamenting;
its support is taken from you.
12
Though the residents of Maroth
anxiously wait for something good,
disaster has come from the
Lord
to the gate of Jerusalem.
13
Harness the horses to the chariot,
you residents of Lachish.
This was the beginning of sin for Daughter Zion
because Israel’s acts of rebellion can be traced to you.
14
Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath;
the houses of Achzib are a deception
to the kings of Israel.
15
I will again bring a conqueror
against you who live in Mareshah.
The nobility of Israel will come to Adullam.
16
Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair
in sorrow for your precious children;
make yourselves as bald as an eagle,
for they have been taken from you into exile.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
6
'So I, the
Lord
, will make the city of Samaria
a heap of ruins.
Her streets will be plowed up
for planting vineyards.
I will roll the stones of her walls into the valley below,
exposing her foundations.
7
All her carved images will be smashed.
All her sacred treasures will be burned.
These things were bought with the money
earned by her prostitution,
and they will now be carried away
to pay prostitutes elsewhere.'
8
Therefore, I will mourn and lament.
I will walk around barefoot and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9
For my people’s wound
is too deep to heal.
It has reached into Judah,
even to the gates of Jerusalem.
10
Don’t tell our enemies in Gath ;
don’t weep at all.
You people in Beth-leaphrah,
roll in the dust to show your despair.
11
You people in Shaphir,
go as captives into exile — naked and ashamed.
The people of Zaanan
dare not come outside their walls.
The people of Beth-ezel mourn,
for their house has no support.
12
The people of Maroth anxiously wait for relief,
but only bitterness awaits them
as the
Lord
’s judgment reaches
even to the gates of Jerusalem.
13
Harness your chariot horses and flee,
you people of Lachish.
You were the first city in Judah
to follow Israel in her rebellion,
and you led Jerusalem into sin.
14
Send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath ;
there is no hope of saving it.
The town of Aczib
has deceived the kings of Israel.
15
O people of Mareshah,
I will bring a conqueror to capture your town.
And the leaders of Israel
will go to Adullam.
16
Oh, people of Judah, shave your heads in sorrow,
for the children you love will be snatched away.
Make yourselves as bald as a vulture,
for your little ones will be exiled to distant lands.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
6
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country,
a place for planting vineyards,
and I will pour down her stones into the valley
and uncover her foundations.
7
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
all her wages shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
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 is incurable,
and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.
10
Tell it not in Gath;
weep not at all;
in Beth-le-aphrah
roll yourselves in the dust.
11
Pass on your way,
inhabitants of Shaphir,
in nakedness and shame;
the inhabitants of Zaanan
do not come out;
the lamentation of Beth-ezel
shall take away from you its standing place.
12
For the inhabitants of Maroth
wait anxiously for good,
because disaster has come down from the
Lord
to the gate of Jerusalem.
13
Harness the steeds to the chariots,
inhabitants of Lachish;
it was the beginning of sin
to the daughter of Zion,
for in you were found
the transgressions of Israel.
14
Therefore you shall give parting gifts
to Moresheth-gath;
the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing
to the kings of Israel.
15
I will again bring a conqueror to you,
inhabitants of Mareshah;
the glory of Israel
shall come to Adullam.
16
Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair,
for the children of your delight;
make yourselves as bald as the eagle,
for they shall go from you into exile.
New International Version
Chapter 1
6
"Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.
I will pour her stones into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.
7
All her idols will be broken to pieces;
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used."
8
Because of this I will weep and wail;
I will go about barefoot and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9
For Samaria’s plague is incurable;
it has spread to Judah.
It has reached the very gate of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
10
Tell it not in Gath ;
weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah
roll in the dust.
11
Pass by naked and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.
Those who live in Zaanan
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
12
Those who live in Maroth writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,
because disaster has come from the
Lord
,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13
You who live in Lachish,
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14
Therefore you will give parting gifts
to Moresheth Gath.
The town of Akzib will prove deceptive
to the kings of Israel.
15
I will bring a conqueror against you
who live in Mareshah.
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.
16
Shave your head in mourning
for the children in whom you delight;
make yourself as bald as the vulture,
for they will go from you into exile.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
6
“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will uncover her foundations.
7
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered
it
from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the pay of a harlot.”
8
Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
9
For her wounds
are
incurable.
For it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
10
Tell
it
not in Gath,
Weep not at all;
In Beth Aphrah
Roll yourself in the dust.
11
Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir;
The inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
12
For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good,
But disaster came down from the
Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13
O inhabitant of Lachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She
was
the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14
Therefore you shall give presents to Moresheth Gath;
The houses of Achzib
shall be
a lie to the kings of Israel.
15
I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah;
The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.
16
Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,
Because of your precious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into captivity.
