Micah 1:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 The people living in Maroth[a]
wait for something good to happen,
even though trouble has come down from the Lord
and has reached the city gate of Jerusalem.
13 You people living in Lachish,[b]
get the horses ready for your chariots.
You are guilty of the same sins Israel[c] committed,
and you brought those sins to Jerusalem.[d]
14 So you must give goodbye gifts
to Moresheth[e] in Gath.
The houses in Aczib[f] will trick
the kings of Israel.
