Micah 6:12-14
Living Bible
12 Your rich men are wealthy through extortion and violence; your citizens are so used to lying that their tongues can’t tell the truth!
13 “Therefore I will wound you! I will make your hearts miserable for all your sins. 14 You will eat but never have enough; hunger pangs and emptiness will still remain. And though you try and try to save your money, it will come to nothing at the end, and what little you succeed in storing up I’ll give to those who conquer you![a]
