Micah 1:14-16
International Standard Version
14 Therefore give your gifts to Moresheth-gath;
that is, the houses of Achzib as a deceitful symbol[a] to the kings of Israel.
15 Nevertheless, I will deliver an heir to you, inhabitants of Mareshah—
to Adullam the glory of Israel will come.
16 “Shave your head
and cut off your locks as you mourn your beloved children.
Make yourself bald as an eagle,
because they will go from you into exile!”
