Micah 1:11-13
Easy-to-Read Version
11 You people living in Shaphir,[a]
pass on your way, naked and ashamed.
The people living in Zaanan[b]
will not come out.
The people in Beth Ezel[c] will cry
and take their support from you.
12 The people living in Maroth[d]
wait for something good to happen,
even though trouble has come down from the Lord
and has reached the city gate of Jerusalem.
13 You people living in Lachish,[e]
get the horses ready for your chariots.
You are guilty of the same sins Israel[f] committed,
and you brought those sins to Jerusalem.[g]
