Micah:6:9-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The voice of the Lord calleth unto the city ,
and wisdom shall see thy name :
hear ye the rod ,
and who hath ordained it .
*
Are there yet in the house of the wicked man the treasures of wickedness ,
and the scant accursed measure ?
*
Can I be pure with wicked balances ,
and with a bag of deceptive weights ?
*
For her rich men are full of violence ,
and her inhabitants have spoken falsehood ,
and their tongue is deceit in their mouth .
*
Therefore have I also smitten thee with sore wounds ,
making desolate because of thy sins .
*
Thou wilt indeed eat ,
but not be satisfied ;
and what thou hast eaten shall bend thee down ;
and thou wilt overtake ,
but thou shalt not deliver ;
and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword .
*
Thou wilt indeed sow ,
but thou shalt not reap ;
thou wilt indeed tread out olives ,
but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil ;
and the juice of the grapes ,
but thou shalt not drink wine .
*
For there are observed the statutes of
Omri ,
and all the works of the house of Achab ,
and ye walk in their counsels :
in order that I should give thee up unto desolation ,
and thy inhabitants to derision ;
and ye shall bear the reproach of my people .
