Destruction of the Wicked

The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
    and it is sound wisdom to fear (A)your name:
“Hear of (B)the rod and of him who appointed it![a]
10     Can I forget any longer the treasures[b] of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
    and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man (C)with wicked scales
    and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your[c] rich men are (D)full of violence;
    your inhabitants (E)speak lies,
    and (F)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,
    (G)making you desolate because of your sins.
