Micah 6:13

The Destruction Of The Wicked

¹² For the wealthy of the city are full of violence,
and its residents speak lies;
the tongues in their mouths are deceitful. ¹³ “As a result, I have begun to strike you severely,
bringing desolation because of your sins.
¹⁴ You will eat but not be satisfied,
for there will be hunger within you.
What you acquire, you cannot save,
and what you do save,
I will give to the sword.
