Micah 1:7-9
Complete Jewish Bible

7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces,
all she earned consumed by fire;
and I will reduce her idols to rubble.
She amassed them from a whore’s wages,
and as a whore’s wages they will be spent again.”

8 This is why I howl and wail,
why I go barefoot and stripped,
why I howl like the jackals
and mourn like the ostriches.
9 For her wound cannot be healed,
and now it is coming to Y’hudah as well;
it reaches even to the gate of my people,
to Yerushalayim itself.

Weeping and Mourning

8 Because of this I will weep(E) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot(F) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.

    it has spread to Judah.(I)
It has reached the very gate(J) of my people,
