Micah 6:11 Context
9The Lords voice cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy Name: heare ye the rodde, and who hath appointed it. 10¶ Are there yet the treasures of wickednesse in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable. 11Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitfull weights? 12For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth. 13Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
