Micah 1:11-13
English Standard Version
11 Pass on your way,
inhabitants of Shaphir,
(A)in nakedness and shame;
the inhabitants of Zaanan
do not come out;
the lamentation of Beth-ezel
shall take away from you its standing place.
12 For the inhabitants of Maroth
wait anxiously for good,
because disaster has come down (B)from the Lord
to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the steeds to the chariots,
inhabitants of (C)Lachish;
it was the beginning of sin
to the daughter of Zion,
for in you were found
(D)the transgressions of Israel.
Micah 1:11-13
New King James Version
11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of [a]Shaphir;
The inhabitant of [b]Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
12 For the inhabitant of [c]Maroth [d]pined for good,
But (A)disaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13 O inhabitant of (B)Lachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were (C)found in you.
