Micah 6:12

10 Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

11 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?

For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

13 Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.

14 You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
