Micah 6:9–16
9 Listen! The Lord is calling to the city—
and to fear your name is wisdom—
“Heed the rodl and the One who appointed it.b
10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short ephah,c which is accursed?m
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,n
with a bag of false weights?o
12 Your rich people are violent;p
your inhabitants are liarsq
and their tongues speak deceitfully.r
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroys you,
to ruind you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;t
your stomach will still be empty.e
You will store up but save nothing,u
because what you savef I will give to the sword.
15 You will plant but not harvest;v
you will press olives but not use the oil,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.w
16 You have observed the statutes of Omrix
and all the practices of Ahab’sy house;
you have followed their traditions.z
Therefore I will give you over to ruina
and your people to derision;
