Micah 1:7-9
English Standard Version
7 All (A)her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
(B)all her wages shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from (C)the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
8 (D)For this I will lament and wail;
I will go (E)stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation (F)like the jackals,
and mourning (G)like the ostriches.
9 (H)For her wound is incurable,
and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.

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.
