Micah 1:8 in Context — Micah 1
6 Por isso tornarei a Samaria em amontoado de pedras no campo, em plantação de vinhas; e derrubarei suas pedras no vale, e descobrirei seus fundamentos.
7 E todas suas imagens de escultura serão esmigalhadas, e todos seus salários de prostituta serão queimados com fogo, e destruirei todos os seus ídolos; porque do salário de prostituta os ajuntou, e para salário de prostituta voltarão.
8 Portanto lamentarei e uivarei, e andarei descalço e nu; farei uivos como de chacais, e lamentos como de filhotes de avestruzes.
9 Porque suas feridas são incuráveis, que já chegaram até Judá; [isto] já chegou até a porta do meu povo, até Jerusalém.
10 Não anunciai [isto] em Gate, nem choreis tanto; revolve-te no pó em Bete-Le-Afra.
