In context

6Therefore I will make Samaria as a storehouse of the fruits of the field, and as a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.

7And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed wealth.

— Micah 1:8 —

9For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Judah; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

10Ye that are in Gath, exalt not yourselves, and ye Enakim, do not rebuild from the ruins of the house in derision: sprinkle dust in the place of your laughter.
