Micah 1:13
Context
13Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
         O inhabitant of Lachish—
         She was the beginning of sin
         To the daughter of Zion—
         Because in you were found
         The rebellious acts of Israel.

14Therefore you will give parting gifts
         On behalf of Moresheth-gath;
         The houses of Achzib will become a deception
         To the kings of Israel.

15Moreover, I will bring on you
         The one who takes possession,
         O inhabitant of Mareshah.
         The glory of Israel will enter Adullam.

16Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,
         Because of the children of your delight;
         Extend your baldness like the eagle,
         For they will go from you into exile.

Holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.'--[Psalm 93:5] London, by B. W., for Benj. Alsop, at the Angel and Bible, in the Poultrey. 1684. THE EDITOR'S ADVERTISEMENT.

Micah
Micah must have been a very striking personality. Like Amos, he was a native of the country--somewhere in the neighbourhood of Gath; and he denounces with fiery earnestness the sins of the capital cities, Samaria in the northern kingdom, and Jerusalem in the southern. To him these cities seem to incarnate the sins of their respective kingdoms, i. 5; and for both ruin and desolation are predicted, i. 6, iii. 12. Micah expresses with peculiar distinctness the sense of his inspiration and the object
