The Destruction of the Wicked

The Destruction of the Wicked

9 (it is sound judgment to fear your name):
“Hear, O staff![fn] Now who has appointed it?
10 in the house of the wicked treasures of wickedness,
and the ephah of scarcity which is accursed?[fn]
11 the one with scales of wickedness, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12  and her inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 [fn] making you desolate because of your sins.
14  your hunger will be in your midst,

and you will put away, but you will not save,
- and what you save I will hand over to the sword.
- 15  you will tread olives, but you will not anoint yourself with oil;
- you will tread grapes, but you will not drink wine.
- 16  and all the works of the house of Ahab.
And you have walked in their counsels,
- so that I am making you a desolation
and your inhabitants an object of scorn.
- So you will bear the scorn of my people.
