Micah 6:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. Are the treasures of wickedness still in the house of wickedness,while the shorted basket is denounced?

11. Can I approve wicked scales and a bag of false weights

12. in a city whose wealthy are full of violenceand whose inhabitants speak falsehoodwith lying tongues in their mouths?

13. So I have made you sick by striking you!I have struck you because of your sins.

14. You devour, but you aren’t satisfied;a gnawing emptiness is within you.You put something aside,but you don’t keep it safe.That which you do try to keep safe,I will give to the sword.

15. You sow, but you don’t gather.You tread down olives, but you don’t anoint with oil;you tread grapes, but don’t drink wine.
