Micah 6:9-15

9The voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 will callH7121 to the cityH5892-- And it is soundH8454 wisdomH8454 to fearH3372 Your nameH8034: “HearH8085, O tribeH4294. WhoH4310 has appointedH3259 1its time?10Is there yetH5750 a manH376 in the wickedH7563 houseH1004, Along with treasuresH214 of 2wickednessH7562 And a 34shortH7332 measureH374 that is cursedH2194?11Can I justifyH2135 wickedH7562 5scalesH3976 And a bagH3599 of deceptiveH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 menH6223 of the 6city are fullH4390 of 7violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 8liesH8267, And their 9tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 10sickH2470, strikingH5221 you downH5221, 11DesolatingH8074 you becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 12not be satisfiedH7646, And your 13vilenessH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 for safekeeping, But you will 14not preserveH6403 anything, And whatH834 you do preserveH6403 I will giveH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 15not reapH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And the grapesH8492, but you will 16not drinkH8354 wineH3196.
