“For this I will lament and wail.I will go stripped and naked.I will howl like the jackalsand mourn like the ostriches.”
Micah 1:8 (WEB)
Context Reading
6Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field,like places for planting vineyards;and I will pour down its stones into the valley,and I will uncover its foundations. 7All her idols will be beaten to pieces,all her temple gifts will be burned with fire,and I will destroy all her images;for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them,and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.” 8For this I will lament and wail.I will go stripped and naked.I will howl like the jackalsand mourn like the ostriches. 9For her wounds are incurable;for it has come even to Judah.It reaches to the gate of my people,even to Jerusalem. 10Don’t tell it in Gath.Don’t weep at all.At Beth OphrahI have rolled myself in the dust.
