Destruction of the Wicked

Micah 6

9 The voice of the LORD will call to the city-- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: "Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time? 10 "Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed? 11 "Can I justify wicked scales And a bag of deceptive weights? 12 "For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 13 "So also I will make you sick, striking you down, Desolating you because of your sins. 14 "You will eat, but you will not be satisfied, And your vileness will be in your midst You will try to remove for safekeeping, But you will not preserve anything, And what you do preserve I will give to the sword. 15 "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. 16 "The statutes of Omri And all the works of the house of Ahab are observed; And in their devices you walk Therefore I will give you up for destruction And your inhabitants for derision, And you will bear the reproach of My people."
