Micah 1:12-14
Tree of Life Version
Micah 1:12-14
Tree of Life Version
12 For she who dwells in Maroth has languished for something good.
For calamity has come down
from Adonai to Jerusalem’s gate.
13 Harness the chariot to the steed,
O inhabitant of Lachish!
It was the beginning of sin
for the Daughter of Zion—
because in you were found
the rebellions of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath—
houses of Achzib as a deception to the kings of Israel.
Micah 1:12-14
New International Version
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.
