Micah 6:13

The Destruction Of The Wicked

¹²
“For the rich men of the city are full of violence [of every kind];
Her inhabitants speak lies
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
¹³ 
“So also I will make you sick, striking you down,
Desolating and devastating you, because of your sins.
¹⁴
“You shall eat, but you will not be satisfied,
And your emptiness shall be among you;
You will [try to] remove [your goods and those you love] for safekeeping
But you will fail to save anything,
And what you do save I shall give to the sword.
