Micah 6:10

The Destruction Of The Wicked

⁹ The voice of the Lord will call to the city—
And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:
“Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?
¹⁰ “Is there yet a man in the wicked house,
Along with treasures of wickedness
And a short measure that is cursed?
¹¹ “Can I justify wicked scales
And a bag of deceptive weights?
