Micah 6:11-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
11Can I justify dishonest balances, And a bag of fraudulent weights? 12For the rich people of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 13So also I will make you sick, striking you down, Making you desolate because of your sins. 14You 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.King James Version
Chapter 6
11Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?Christian Standard Bible
12For 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.
14You 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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
11How can I tolerate your merchants who use dishonest scales and weights? 12The rich among you have become wealthy through extortion and violence. Your citizens are so used to lying that their tongues can no longer tell the truth.
13'Therefore, I will wound you! I will bring you to ruin for all your sins.
14You will eat but never have enough. Your hunger pangs and emptiness will remain. And though you try to save your money, it will come to nothing in the end. You will save a little, but I will give it to those who conquer you.
English Standard Version

11Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights? 12Your rich people are violent; your inhabitants are liars and their tongues speak deceitfully. 13Therefore, I have begun to destroy you, to ruin you because of your sins. 14You will eat but not be satisfied; your stomach will still be empty. You will store up but save nothing, because what you save I will give to the sword.New King James Version
