Micah 6:15-16

Micah 6:15-16
The Voice
15 You will sow grain but never reap it;
you will plant olives but never anoint yourself with their sweet oil;
You will harvest vineyards for juice but never drink the wine.
16 For you have followed the ways of Omri
and all the works of the kingdom of Ahab,
And you have followed their paths of wickedness.
That is why I can justifiably decimate you.
Your citizens will be the subject of satire and mockery,
and you will bear the scorn My people deserve.[a]
Footnotes
- 6:16 Greek manuscripts read, “the scorn of the nations.”

15 You will plant but not harvest;(A)
you will press olives but not use the oil,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.(B)
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri(C)
and all the practices of Ahab’s(D) house;
you have followed their traditions.(E)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin(F)
and your people to derision;
you will bear the scorn(G) of the nations.[a]”
