All her carved images will be smashed(A) to pieces;
all her wages(B) will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,(C)
they will be used again for a prostitute.

Micah’s Lament

Because of this I will lament and wail;
I will walk barefoot and naked.(D)
I will howl like the jackals(E)
and mourn like ostriches.[a]
For her wound is incurable(F)
and has reached even Judah;(G)
it has approached my people’s city gate,(H)
as far as Jerusalem.
