Micah 1:15-16
EasyEnglish Bible

15 People in Mareshah, I (God) will bring an army against you,
to fight your town. And it will win.
And Israel's leaders will need to hide at Adullam.[a]
16 People in Judah, cut off all your hair.[b]
Make yourselves bald like vultures,[c]
because you will be very sad.
Your enemies will take your children away.
They will take your children, whom you love so much, away to another country!

  1. 1:15 Verses 10-15 In these verses, Micah says the names of towns and villages near his home, Moresheth Gath. Enemies from another country will come and fight against them. These verses may tell how Assyria's people attacked Judah's people in the year 701 BC.
  2. 1:16 In those days, people often cut off all their hair to show that they were very sad.
  3. 1:16 Vultures are large birds with bald heads.
