Micah
Chapters 6:10-15
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
10Do the wicked still hide treasures that they have stolen? Do they still cheat people with baskets that are too small? Yes, all of this is still happening!
11Some people carry special weights that they use to cheat people when they weigh their goods. Should I pardon them?
12The rich in that city are still cruel. The people there still tell lies. Yes, they tell their lies.
13So I have begun to punish you. I will destroy you because of your sins.
14You will eat, but you will not become full. You will still be hungry and empty. You will try to bring people to safety, but people with swords will kill the people you rescued.
15You will plant your seeds, but you will not gather food. You will try to squeeze oil from your olives, but you will not get any oil. You will crush your grapes, but you will not get enough juice to have wine to drink.
