10 For there is still fire in the house of the wicked and in the storehouses of iniquity and in the short measure of deceit. 11 How can they justify themselves with the wicked scales and with the bag of deceitful weights? 12 For the rich men of the land are full of deceit, and its inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is treacherous in their mouth. 13 Therefore I will begin to smite you, and will make you desolate because of your sins. 14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and dysentery shall be in the midst of you; and you shall thresh wheat, but shall not keep it, and that which you retain, I will give up to the sword. 15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint yourselves with oil; you shall tread grapes but you shall not drink wine. 16 For you have kept the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you have walked in their counsels; therefore I have made the land a desolation, and its inhabitants a hissing; thus you shall bear the reproach of my people.
