Micah 6:13

6:13 I will strike you brutally ¹ 

and destroy you because of your sin.

Micah 1:12

1:12 Indeed, the residents of Maroth ²  hope for something good to happen, ³ 

though the Lord has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem. ⁴ 

[6:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and also I, I will make you sick, striking you.”

[1:12]  ² sn The place name Maroth sounds like the Hebrew word for “bitter.”

[1:12]  ³ tc The translation assumes an emendation of חָלָה (khalah; from חִיל, khil, “to writhe”) to יִחֲלָה (yikhalah; from יָחַל, yakhal, “to wait”).

[1:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “though disaster has come down from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.”
