Micah 6:10–16
10Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?↗
11Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?↗
12Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.↗
13Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.↗
14You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.↗
15You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.↗
16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”↗
