Micah 1:8

8 For this reason I ^{▼▼ The prophet is probably the speaker here.} will mourn and wail;
I will walk around barefoot ^{▼▼ Or “stripped.” The precise meaning of this Hebrew word is unclear. It may refer to walking barefoot (see 2 Sam 15:30) or to partially stripping oneself (see Job 12:17–19).} and without my outer garments. ^{▼▼ Heb “naked.” This probably does not refer to complete nudity, but to stripping off one’s outer garments as an outward sign of the destitution felt by the mourner.}
I will howl ^{▼▼ Heb “I will make lamentation.”} like a wild dog, ^{▼▼ Or “a jackal”; CEV “howling wolves.”}
and screech ^{▼▼ Heb “[make] a mourning.”} like an owl. ^{▼▼ Or perhaps “ostrich” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).}
