Micah 6:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be a gnawing hunger within you;
you shall put away, but not save,
and what you save, I will hand over to the sword.
15 You shall sow, but not reap;
you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
16 For you have kept the statutes of Omri[a]
and all the works of the house of Ahab,
and you have followed their counsels.
Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your[b] inhabitants an object of hissing;
so you shall bear the scorn of my people.
