Micah 1:10-12
New Century Version
Micah 1:10-12
New Century Version
10 Don’t tell it in Gath.[a]
Don’t cry in Acco.[b]
Roll in the dust
at Beth Ophrah.[c]
11 Pass on your way, naked and ashamed,
you who live in Shaphir.[d]
Those who live in Zaanan[e]
won’t come out.
The people in Beth Ezel[f] will cry,
but they will not give you any support.
12 Those who live in Maroth[g]
will be anxious for good news to come,
because trouble will come from the Lord,
all the way to the gate of Jerusalem.
