Micah 1:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth [a]Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be as a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Yet will I bring an [b]heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, he shall come unto Adullam, [c]the glory of Israel.
16 Make thee bald: and shave thee for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
