9A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.
10Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?
11Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
12Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
13And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.
14Thou -- thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give.
15Thou -- thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou -- thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine -- and thou drinkest not wine.
