"For Samaria’s disease is incurable. It has infected Judah; it has spread to the leadership of my people and even to Jerusalem!"
— Micah 1:9, NET Bible
“For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.”
“For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. ”
“For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.”
“Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.”
“For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.”
“For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.”
“I will turn Samaria into a heap of ruins in an open field, into a place for planting vineyards! I will dump the rubble of her walls down into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces; all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire. I will make a waste heap of all her images. Since she gathered the metal as a prostitute collects her wages, the idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.”
For this reason I will mourn and wail; I will walk around barefoot and without my outer garments. I will howl like a wild dog, and screech like an owl.
For Samaria’s disease is incurable. It has infected Judah; it has spread to the leadership of my people and even to Jerusalem!
Don’t spread the news in Gath! Don’t shed even a single tear! In Beth Leaphrah roll about in mourning in the dust!
Residents of Shaphir, pass by in nakedness and humiliation! The residents of Zaanan have not escaped. Beth Ezel mourns,“He takes from you what he desires.”
Indeed, the residents of Maroth hope for something good to happen, though the LORD has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.
