Micah 1:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³You 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]
¹⁴So you must give goodbye gifts
    to Moresheth^[d] in Gath.
The houses in Aczib^[e] will trick
    the kings of Israel.
¹⁵You 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]
