Micah 1:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 You people living in Lachish,[a]
get the horses ready for your chariots.
You are guilty of the same sins Israel[b] committed,
and you brought those sins to Jerusalem.[c]
14 So you must give goodbye gifts
to Moresheth[d] in Gath.
The houses in Aczib[e] will trick
the kings of Israel.
15 You people who live in Mareshah,[f]
I will bring someone against you who will take the things you own.
The Glory of Israel
will come into Adullam.[g]
