Micah 1:8-10
New King James Version
Mourning for Israel and Judah
8 Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
(A)I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
9 For her wounds are incurable.
For (B)it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.

8 Because of this I must mourn and wail,
I must go (A)barefoot and naked;
I must do mourning like the (B)jackals,
And a mourning like the ostriches.
9 For her (C)wound is incurable,
For (D)it has come to Judah;
It has reached the (E)gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.

Do not weep at all.
At [a]Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.
