Micah 1:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² The people of Maroth^[a] anxiously wait for relief,
    but only bitterness awaits them
as the Lord’s judgment reaches
    even to the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ Harness your chariot horses and flee,
    you people of Lachish.^[b]
You were the first city in Judah
    to follow Israel in her rebellion,
    and you led Jerusalem^[c] into sin.
¹⁴ Send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath^[d];
    there is no hope of saving it.
The town of Aczib^[e]
    has deceived the kings of Israel.
