Micah 6:10-16

10Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of 1wickedness And a 2 3short measure that is cursed?11Can I justify wicked 4scales And a bag of deceptive weights?12For the rich men of the 5city are full of 6violence, Her residents speak 7lies, And their 8tongue is deceitful in their mouth.13So also I will make you 9sick, striking you down, 10Desolating you because of your sins.14You will eat, but you will 11not be satisfied, And your 12vileness will be in your midst. You will try to remove for safekeeping, But you will 13not preserve anything, And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.15You will sow but you will 14not reap. You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil; And the grapes, but you will 15not drink wine.16The statutes of 16Omri And all the works of the house of 17Ahab are observed; And in their devices you 18walk. Therefore I will give you up for 19destruction And 20your inhabitants for 21derision, And you will bear the 22reproach of My people.”
