Micah 1:10

Declare it not at Gath, weep not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.

AD 1849
Geth. Amongst the Philistines, lest they rejoice at your calamity. (Challoner) (2 Kings i. 20., and Amos iii. 9.) (Calmet) Tell not these calamities, which I foresee, among your enemies, lest they rejoice. But lament in your own houses, which shall be filled with dust. St. Jerome prays for the light of the Holy Spirit to understand this passage. (Worthington) Weep ye not. Keep in your tears, that you may not give your enemies an occasion of exulting over you: but in your own houses, or in your house of dust, your earthly habitation, sprinkle yourselves with dust, and put on the habit of penitents. Some take the house of dust (in Hebrew Haphra) to be the proper name of a city. (Challoner) With tears. Hebrew, "at all "(Protestants; Haydock) "in Acco "or Ptolemais, (Reland) or Bochim, (Haydock) a place near Jerusalem, Judges ii. 1. But no reference to this place, or to "the Enakim "(who appear in some copies of the Septuagint) seems to be made. Of dust. Samaria, ver. 6. (Calmet)
