Micah 6:14

Compare all

12 For her rich men are full of ^aviolence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And ^btheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13 “Therefore I will also ^amake you sick by striking you,
By making you desolate because of your sins.

14 ^aYou shall eat, but not be satisfied;
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.

15 “You shall ^asow, but not reap;
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.

16 For the statutes of ^aOmri are ^bkept;
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 6:14

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied - All thy possessions are cursed, because of thy sins; and thou hast no real good in all thy enjoyments.

And thy casting down - For veyeshchacha , "thy casting down," Newcome, by transposing the and , reads veyechshach , "and it shall be dark;" and this is probably the true reading. The Arabic and Septuagint have read the same. "There shall be calamity in the midst of thee." It shall have its seat and throne among you.
