Micah 1:9-11
New International Version
9 For Samaria’s plague(A) is incurable;(B)
it has spread to Judah.(C)
It has reached the very gate(D) of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
10 Tell it not in Gath[a];
weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
roll in the dust.
11 Pass by naked(E) and in shame,
you who live in Shaphir.[c]
Those who live in Zaanan[d]
will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
it no longer protects you.
