10. Am I to bear criminal hoardingand the accursed short ephah?
11. Shall I acquit crooked scales,bags of false weights?
12. You whose wealthy are full of violence,whose inhabitants speak falsehoodwith deceitful tongues in their mouths!
13. I have begun to strike youwith devastation because of your sins.
14. You shall eat, without being satisfied,food that will leave you empty;What you acquire, you cannot save;what you do save, I will deliver up to the sword.
15. You shall sow, yet not reap,tread out the olive, yet pour no oil,crush the grapes, yet drink no wine.
16. You have kept the decrees of Omri,and all the works of the house of Ahab,and you have walked in their counsels;Therefore I will deliver you up to ruin,and your citizens to derision;and you shall bear the reproach of the nations.
