Micah 6:9-16

International Standard Version

¹³ “Therefore I will make you ill when I attack you;
    I will bring you to ruin because of your offenses.
¹⁴ You’ll eat,
    but you won’t have enough;
        and hunger will be common among you.
You’ll horde things,
    but you won’t save them,
and what you preserve
    I’ll give over to the sword.
¹⁵ You’ll plant,
    but you won’t reap.
You’ll crush the olive harvest,
    but you’ll have no oil to anoint yourself.
You’ll tread out the grapes,
    but you’ll never drink wine.
¹⁶ You keep Omri’s^[d] statutes
    and observe the customs of the house of Ahab.
Because you live according to their advice,
    I’ll make you desolate
        and turn your^[e] inhabitants into an object of scorn.
Therefore you will bear the shame of my people.”
