Micah 1:13-15
New International Reader's Version
Micah 1:13-15
New International Reader's Version
13 You who live in Lachish,
get your fast horses ready to pull their chariots.
You trust in military power.
Lachish was where sin began
for the people of Zion.
The wrong things Israel did
were also done by you.
14 People of Judah, you might as well say goodbye
to Moresheth near Gath.
The town of Akzib won’t give any help
to the kings of Israel.
15 An enemy will attack
you who live in Mareshah.
Israel’s nobles will have to run away
and hide in the cave of Adullam.

Micah 1:13-15
New International Version
13 You who live in Lachish,(A)
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.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
who live in Mareshah.[b](G)
The nobles of Israel
will flee to Adullam.(H)
