Micah 1:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 You will need to give gifts to the people in Moresheth Gath,
because they must go away.
The houses in Akzib town will disappoint the kings of Israel.[a]
15 People in Mareshah, I (God) will bring an army against you,
to fight your town. And it will win.
And Israel's leaders will need to hide at Adullam.[b]
16 People in Judah, cut off all your hair.[c]
Make yourselves bald like vultures,[d]
because you will be very sad.
Your enemies will take your children away.
They will take your children, whom you love so much, away to another country!
