Micah 4:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Micah 4:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 Jerusalem, why are you crying?
Don't you have a king?
Have your advisors gone?
Are you suffering
like a woman in childbirth?
10 Keep on groaning with pain,
you people of Jerusalem!
If you escape from your city
to the countryside,
you will still be taken
as prisoners to Babylonia.
But later I will rescue you
from your enemies.
11 Zion, because of your sins
you are surrounded
by many nations who say,
“We can hardly wait
to see you disgraced.”[a]
Footnotes
- 4.11 We … disgraced: Or “We'll pull up your skirt and expose your nakedness!”
