³ They cast lots^(A) for my people
    and traded boys for prostitutes;
    they sold girls for wine^(B) to drink.

¹⁰ Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
    and the short ephah,^[a] which is accursed?^(A)
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,^(B)
    with a bag of false weights?^(C)
12 Your rich people are violent;^(D)
    your inhabitants are liars^(E)
    and their tongues speak deceitfully.^(F)
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy^(G) you,
    to ruin^[b] you because of your sins.
¹⁴ You will eat but not be satisfied;^(H)
    your stomach will still be empty.^[c]
You will store up but save nothing,^(I)
    because what you save^[d] I will give to the sword.
¹⁵ You will plant but not harvest;^(J)
    you will press olives but not use the oil,
    you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.^(K)
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri^(L)
    and all the practices of Ahab’s^(M) house;
    you have followed their traditions.^(N)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin^(O)
    and your people to derision;
    you will bear the scorn^(P) of the nations.^[e]”

³ You put off the day of disaster
    and bring near a reign of terror.^(A)
4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory
    and lounge on your couches.^(B)
You dine on choice lambs
    and fattened calves.^(C)
5 You strum away on your harps^(D) like David
    and improvise on musical instruments.^(E)
6 You drink wine^(F) by the bowlful
    and use the finest lotions,
    but you do not grieve^(G) over the ruin of Joseph.^(H)
7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;^(I)
    your feasting and lounging will end.^(J)
