10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
    and the short ephah,[a] which is accursed?(A)
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,(B)
    with a bag of false weights?(C)
12 Your rich people are violent;(D)
    your inhabitants are liars(E)
    and their tongues speak deceitfully.(F)
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy(G) you,
    to ruin[b] you because of your sins.

13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
