Micah 6:9 - 6:16

The voice of Yahweh will call to the city—

And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:

“Hear, O tribe. Who even has appointed its time?

Is there yet a man in the wicked house,

Along with treasures of wickedness,

And a short measure which is cursed?

Can I purify wicked scales

And a bag of deceptive weights?

For the rich men of the city are full of violence,

And her inhabitants speak lies,

And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

So also I will make you sick, striking you down,

Desolating you because of your sins.

You will eat, but you will not be satisfied,

And your vileness will be in your midst.

And you will try to remove something for safekeeping,

But you will not cause anything to escape,

And that which you do have escape, I will give to the sword.

You will sow but you will not reap.

You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;

And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.

The statutes of Omri

And all the works of the house of Ahab are kept;

And in their counsels you walk.

Therefore I will give you up as an object of horror

And your inhabitants as an object of hissing,

And you will bear the reproach of My people.”
