Micah 6:9-16:
[9] The voice of the Lord cries to the city – and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: “Hear of the rod and of Him who appointed it!
[10] Can I forget any longer the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is accursed?
[11] Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights?
[12] Your rich men are full of violence; your inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
[13] Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow, making you desolate because of your sins.
[14] You shall eat, but not be satisfied, and there shall be hunger within you; you shall put away, but not preserve, and what you preserve I will give to the sword.
[15] You shall sow, but not reap; you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil; you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
[16] For you have kept the statutes of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you have walked in their counsels, that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing; so you shall bear the scorn of My people.”
