Micah 1:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
12 For the inhabitants of Maroth
wait anxiously for good,
yet disaster has come down from the Lord
to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the steeds to the chariots,
inhabitants of Lachish;
it was the beginning of sin
to daughter Zion,
for in you were found
the transgressions of Israel.
14 Therefore you shall give parting gifts
to Moresheth-gath;
the houses of Achzib shall be a deception
to the kings of Israel.
Micah 1:12-14

Micah 1:12-14
New International Version
12 Those who live in Maroth[a] writhe in pain,
waiting for relief,(A)
because disaster(B) has come from the Lord,
even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,(C)
harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(D) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(E)
to Moresheth(F) Gath.
The town of Akzib[b](G) will prove deceptive(H)
to the kings of Israel.
