Micah 6:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ So I have begun to strike you down.
    I have begun to destroy you
    because you have sinned so much.
¹⁴ You will eat. But you will not be satisfied.
    Your stomachs will still be empty.
You will try to save what you can.
    But you will not be able to.
If you do save something,
    it will be destroyed in battle.
¹⁵ You will plant seeds.
    But you will not harvest any crops.
You will press olives.
    But you will not use the oil.
You will crush grapes.
    But you will not drink the wine
    that is made from them.
