Micah 6:11-16
11Can I justify dishonest 1balances, And a bag of fraudulent weights?12For the rich people of 2the city 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, 7Making you desolate because of your sins.14You will eat, but you will 8not be satisfied, And your filth will be in your midst. You will try to remove valuables for safekeeping, But you will 9not save it all, And what you do save I will turn over to the sword.15You will sow but you will 10not harvest. You will tread the olive press but will not anoint yourself with oil; And tread out sweet wine, but you will 11not drink any wine.16The statutes of 12Omri And every work of the house of 13Ahab are maintained, And you 14walk by their plans. Therefore I will give you up for 15destruction, And 16your inhabitants for 1718derision, And you will suffer the 19taunting of My people.”
