Micah 1:12 in Context — Micah 1
10 Ne l’annoncez point dans Gath, Ne pleurez point dans Acco! Je me roule dans la poussière à Beth-Leaphra.
11 Passe, habitante de Schaphir, dans la nudité et la honte! L’habitante de Tsaanan n’ose sortir, Le deuil de Beth-Haëtsel vous prive de son abri.
12 L’habitante de Maroth tremble pour son salut, Car le malheur est descendu de la part de l’Éternel Jusqu’à la porte de Jérusalem.
13 Attelle les coursiers à ton char, Habitante de Lakisch! Tu as été pour la fille de Sion une première cause de péché, Car en toi se sont trouvés les crimes d’Israël.
14 C’est pourquoi tu renonceras à Moréschet-Gath; Les maisons d’Aczib seront une source trompeuse Pour les rois d’Israël.
