Micah 1 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

1 Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people even to Jerusalem.

2 0 Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ya not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with dust.

3 1 And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the House adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.

4 2 For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.

5 3 A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion, for in thee were found the crimes of Israel.

6 4 Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth : the houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.

7 5 Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.

8 6 Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.

9 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.

10 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord : Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.

12 In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?

13 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.

14 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.

15 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?

16 But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.
