Micah 1:13-15
Complete Jewish Bible
13 Harness the chariots to the fastest horses,
inhabitants of Lakhish;
she was the beginning of sin
for the daughter of Tziyon;
for the crimes of Isra’el
are traceable to you.
14 Therefore you must bestow parting gifts
upon Moreshet-Gat.
The houses of Akhziv will disappoint
the kings of Isra’el.
15 Inhabitants of Mareshah,
I have yet to bring you
the one who will [invade and] possess you.
The glory of Isra’el will come to ‘Adulam.
Micah 1:13-15
New International Version

harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(B) began,
for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(C)
to Moresheth(D) Gath.
The town of Akzib[a](E) will prove deceptive(F)
to the kings of Israel.

who live in Mareshah.[b](G)
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.(H)
