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