Micah 1:8-16 is about God's judgment on Judah.
|
|
|
|
# I will lament
|
|
|
|
Here "I" refers to Micah.
|
|
|
|
# I will lament and wail
|
|
|
|
"Lament" refers to the inner feeling of sadness, and "wail" refers to the activity of making a loud, sad sound.
|
|
|
|
# I will go barefoot and naked
|
|
|
|
This is a sign of extreme mourning and distress. Another possible meaning is "I will look like someone has taken off my clothes; I will be naked"
|
|
|
|
# naked
|
|
|
|
probably wearing only a loincloth
|
|
|
|
# like the jackals ... like owls
|
|
|
|
Jackals and owls live in wastelands, and their loud cries sound like people wailing or weeping. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
