       Micah 1:7-8
       KJV 7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to
       pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire,
       and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered
       it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire
       of an harlot. 8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go
       stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and
       mourning as the owls.
       WEB 7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple
       gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will
       destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them,
       and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.” 8 For this I
       will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl
       like the jackals, and moan like the daughters of owls.
       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       7 Idols were to be done this way when they came upon them but
       instead sinful they set many up. The only temple gifts were
       intended to be given to the Lord but they made other gods and
       devote themselves to them. Since the people were in this false
       faith, God would be the one to make sure the destruction of this
       falsehood of sin was carried out. Temple prostitutes were common
       in the false religions and often are what dragged others into
       that belief.
       8 The people would weep and wail but it also hurt God’s heart
       that He had to do this that the people turned so far away from
       Him. The people would be left with nothing but the Lord could
       restore it all if they just came back to Him. No matter what
       happens in life, we have hope in the Lord.
