Micah 6:9-16
The Punishment of Israel

9 The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

9:

10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [that is] abominable?

10:

11 Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

11:

12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.

12:

13 Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee, in making [thee] desolate because of thy sins.

13:

14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down [shall be] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and [that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

14:

15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

15:

16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

16:
