Micah 6:9-16 - The Destruction Of The Wicked

⁹ The voice of Jehovah will call to the city, and wisdom feared thy name: hear ye the rod, and who appointed it ¹⁰ Are there yet treasures of injustice in the house of the unjust, and the ephah of leanness being cursed? ¹¹ Shall I make clean with the balances of injustice, and with the bag of stones of deceit? ¹² For her rich ones were full of violence, and her inhabitants spake falsehood, and their tongue of deceit in their mouth.

¹³ And also I made sick, striking thee, making desolate for thy sins. ¹⁴ Thou shalt eat and not be satisfied; and thine emptiness in the midst of thee; and thou shalt remove and shalt not deliver; and what thou shalt save I will give to the sword. ¹⁵ Thou shalt sow and thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olive and thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil; and new wine, and thou shalt not drink wine. ¹⁶ The laws of Omri will be observed, and all the work of the house of Ahab, and ye will go in their counsels; so that I shall give thee for a desolation, and her inhabitants for hissing, and ye shall bear the reproach of my People.
