Micah 6:9-15

9The voice of the Lord will call to the city-- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: “1Hear, you tribe. Who has designated 2its time?10Is there still a person in the wicked house, Along with treasures of 3wickedness, And a 4 5short measure that is cursed?11Can I justify dishonest 6balances, And a bag of fraudulent weights?12For the rich people of 7the city are full of 8violence, Her residents speak 9lies, And their 10tongue is deceitful in their mouth.13So also I will make you 11sick, striking you down, 12Making you desolate because of your sins.14You will eat, but you will 13not be satisfied, And your filth will be in your midst. You will try to remove valuables for safekeeping, But you will 14not save it all, And what you do save I will turn over to the sword.15You will sow but you will 15not harvest. You will tread the olive press but will not anoint yourself with oil; And tread out sweet wine, but you will 16not drink any wine.
