Micah 1:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ because Samaria’s wound ·cannot be healed [is incurable].
    It ·will spread [or has spread] to Judah;
it ·will reach [or has reached] the city gate of my people [^Cwhere the city’s affairs were conducted],
    all the way to Jerusalem.
¹⁰ Don’t tell it in Gath [^Csounds like Hebrew for “tell”; Gath and the cities in this list were in Assyria’s path of destruction in 701 bc].
    Don’t cry ·in Acco [or at all; ^Cthe Hebrew for “cry” sounds like Acco].
Roll in the dust
    at Beth Ophrah [^C“house of dust”].
¹¹ Pass on your way, naked and ashamed,
    you who live in Shaphir [^C“beautiful” or “pleasant”].
Those who live in Zaanan [^Csounds like Hebrew for “come out”]
    won’t come out.
The people in Beth Ezel [^C“house of nearness”] ·will cry [are in mourning],
    but they will not give you any support.
