Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And btheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
By making you desolate because of your sins.
1Hunger shall be in your midst.
You may carry some away,1 but shall not save them;
And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.
All the works of Ahab’s house are done;
And you walk in their counsels,
That I may make you a1 desolation,
And your inhabitants a hissing.
Therefore you shall bear the creproach of My people.”
| << Micah 6:13 | Micah 6:15 >> |
