All her idols will be broken into pieces;
    all the gifts to her idols will be burned with fire.
    I will destroy all her idols,
and because Samaria earned her money by being unfaithful to me,
    this money will be carried off by others who are not faithful to me.”

Micah’s Great Sadness

I will moan and cry because of this evil,
    going around barefoot and naked.
I will cry loudly like the wild dogs
    and make sad sounds like the owls do,
because Samaria’s wound cannot be healed.
    It will spread to Judah;
it will reach the city gate of my people,
    all the way to Jerusalem.

All her idols(A) will be broken to pieces;(B)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.(C)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(D)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

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.
For Samaria’s plague(G) is incurable;(H)
    it has spread to Judah.(I)
It has reached the very gate(J) of my people,
    even to Jerusalem itself.
