Micah 6:11-16

11Can I justifyH2135 dishonestH7562 1balancesH3976, And a bagH3599 of fraudulentH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 peopleH6223 of 2the city are fullH4390 of 3violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 4liesH8267, And their 5tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 6sickH2470, strikingH5221 you down, 7MakingH8074 you desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 8not beH7646 satisfiedH7646, And your filthH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 valuables for safekeeping, But you will 9not saveH6403 it all, And whatH834 you do saveH6403 I will turnH5414 overH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 10not harvestH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 press but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And tread out sweetH8492 wineH8492, but you will 11not drinkH8354 any wineH3196.16The statutesH2708 of 12OmriH6018 And everyH3605 workH4639 of the houseH1004 of 13AhabH256 are maintainedH8104, And you 14walkH1980 by their plansH4156. ThereforeH4616 I will giveH5414 you upH5414 for 15destructionH8047, And 16your inhabitantsH3427 for 1718derisionH8322, And you will sufferH5375 the 19tauntingH2781 of My peopleH5971.”
