Micah 6:9-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Voice of the Lord Speaks Against Sin
9 The voice of the Lord cries out to the city.
To fear your name is sound judgment.
Pay attention to the rod and to the one who appointed it.
10 You wicked house, do you still have[a] treasures gained by wickedness
and dishonest measurements that are cursed?
11 Can I condone your dishonest scales and your bags full of false weights?
12 The city’s rich men are full of violence,
and its inhabitants speak falsehood.
Their tongues are treachery inside their mouths.
13 So I will wound you,[b]
striking you down
and making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.
Your emptiness[c] will remain inside you.
You will try to store things up,
but you will not save anything.
What you save, I will give to the sword.
15 You will sow, but you will not reap.
You will press olives, but you will not anoint yourself with oil.
You will trample grapes for juice, but you will not drink the wine.
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri,[d]
and all the practices of the house of Ahab.
You have walked in their way of life,
so I will make you a hideous sight.
Your inhabitants will be subjected to contempt.[e]
You will bear the shame of my people.[f]

Lexham English Bible
The Destruction of the Wicked
9 The voice of Yahweh calls to the city
(it is sound judgment to fear your name):
“Hear, O staff![a] Now who has appointed it?
10 Is there any longer a man in the house of the wicked
treasures of wickedness,
and the ephah of scarcity which is accursed?[b]
11 Shall I regard as pure the one with scales of wickedness,
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Because her rich are full of violence,
and her inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 And I also have made you sick by striking you down,[c]
making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You yourself will eat but not be satisfied;
your hunger will be in your midst,
and you will put away, but you will not save,
and what you save I will hand over to the sword.
15 You yourself will sow, but you will not reap;
you will tread olives, but you will not anoint yourself with oil;
you will tread grapes, but you will not drink wine.
16 For you have observed the regulations of Omri
and all the works of the house of Ahab.
And you have walked in their counsels,
so that I am making you a desolation
and your inhabitants an object of scorn.
So you will bear the scorn of my people.
