Micah 1:14

Read in context

Micah 1:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.

13 Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.

15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.

16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
