Micah 1:16

 1 The  word of the Lord which came to  Micah of Moresheth in the days of  Jotham,  Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and which he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.  2 Hear, you peoples, all of  you;  Listen carefully, earth and  all it contains, And may the Lord  God be a  witness against you, The Lord from His holy temple.  3 For behold, the Lord is  coming forth from His place. He will come down and  tread on the high places of the  earth.  4  The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place.  5 All this is due to the  wrongdoing of Jacob And the sins of the house of Israel. What is the   wrongdoing of Jacob? Is it not  Samaria? What is the  high  place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?  6 For I will make Samaria a  heap of ruins  in the open country,  Planting places for a vineyard. I will  hurl her stones down into the valley, And  lay bare her foundations.  7 All of her  idols will be crushed, All of her earnings will be burned with fire, And all of her images I will make desolate; For she collected them from a  prostitute’s earnings, And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.  8 Because of this I must mourn and wail, I must go  barefoot and naked; I must do mourning like the  jackals, And a mourning like the ostriches.  9 For her  wound is incurable, For  it has come to Judah; It has reached the  gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.  10  Do not tell it in Gath, Do not weep at all. At  Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust in mourning.  11  Go on your way, inhabitant of  Shaphir, in  shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of   Zaanan does not  escape. The mourning of  Beth-ezel: “He will take from you its  support.”  12 For the inhabitant of  Maroth   Waits for something good, Because a disaster has come down from the Lord To the  gate of Jerusalem.  13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses, You inhabitant of  Lachish— She was the beginning of sin To the daughter of Zion— Because in you were found The  rebellious acts of Israel.  14 Therefore you will give parting  gifts In behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of  Achzib will become a   deception To the kings of Israel.  15 Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, You inhabitant of   Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter  Adullam.  16 Shave yourself  bald, yes, cut off your hair, Because of the children of your delight; Extend your baldness like the eagle, For they will  go from you into exile.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
