Micah 1:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
You inhabitant of (A)Lachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The (B)rebellious acts of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting (C)gifts
In behalf of Moresheth-gath;
The houses of (D)Achzib will become a [a](E)deception
To the kings of Israel.
15 Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
You inhabitant of [b](F)Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter (G)Adullam.
