Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

9The voice of the Lord will call to the city—

And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:

“Hear, you tribe. Who has designated its time?

10“Is there still a person in the wicked house,

Along with treasures of wickedness,

And a short measure that is cursed?

11“Can I justify dishonest balances,

And a bag of fraudulent weights?

12“For the rich people of the city are full of violence,

Her residents speak lies,

And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13“So also I will make you sick, striking you down,

Making you desolate because of your sins.

14“You will eat, but you will not be satisfied,

And your filth will be in your midst.

You will try to remove valuables for safekeeping,

But you will not save it all,

And what you do save I will turn over to the sword.

15“You will sow but you will not harvest.

You will tread the olive press but will not anoint yourself with oil;

And tread out sweet wine, but you will not drink any wine.

16“The statutes of Omri

And every work of the house of Ahab are maintained,

And you walk by their plans.

Therefore I will give you up for destruction,

And your inhabitants for derision,

And you will suffer the taunting of My people.”
