Micah 6:16 in context

  1. 14You shall eat, but not be satisfied.
    Your humiliation will be within you.
    You will store up, but not save;
    and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
  2. 15You will sow, but won’t reap.
    You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil;
    and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
  3. 16For the statutes of Omri are kept,
    and all the works of Ahab’s house.
    You walk in their counsels,
    that I may make you a ruin,
    and her inhabitants a hissing;
    And you will bear the reproach of my people.”
