Micah’s Lament

Because of this I will lament and wail;
I will walk barefoot and naked.(A)
I will howl like the jackals(B)
and mourn like ostriches.[a]
For her wound is incurable(C)
and has reached even Judah;(D)
it has approached my people’s city gate,(E)
as far as Jerusalem.

10 Don’t announce it in Gath,(F)
don’t weep at all.
Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
