       Micah 1:14-16
       KJV 14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the
       houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. 15 Yet
       will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he
       shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. 16 Make thee bald,
       and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as
       the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
       WEB 14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath.
       The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of
       Israel. 15 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah, him
       who will possess you. He who is the glory of Israel will come to
       Adullam. 16 Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the
       children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the
       vulture; for they have gone into captivity from you!
       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       14 They are being warned that these gifts that will be given
       aren’t true but under deceit and not under friendship but the
       start of their downfall. Parting gifts can be a good thing but
       true friends would miss their friend and only take the parting
       gift as a reminder of them.
       15 God was going to bring people in to take them. When we don’t
       follow the Lord something else will be brought to posses us. We
       don’t need to let God’s glory pass us but we need to shine His
       glory to the world.
       16 Shaven heads were a sign of shame. They needed to be shamed
       for their sins. Sin is to b shameful and not embraced. They were
       being proud in their sins, are we?
