Micah 6:12 Context
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. 14Thou shalt eate, but not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the midst of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: & that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sword.
