Micah 6:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 The rich people among you harm others.
You are always telling lies.
You try to fool others by what you say.
13 So I have begun to strike you down.
I have begun to destroy you
because you have sinned so much.
14 You will eat. But you will not be satisfied.
Your stomachs will still be empty.
You will try to save what you can.
But you will not be able to.
If you do save something,
it will be destroyed in battle.

your inhabitants are liars(B)
and their tongues speak deceitfully.(C)

to ruin[a] you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;(E)
your stomach will still be empty.[b]
You will store up but save nothing,(F)
because what you save[c] I will give to the sword.
