Micah 6:12 in Context — Micah 6

10 ¿Hay aún en casa del impío tesoros de impiedad, y medida escasa que es detestable?

11 ¿Seré limpio con peso falso, y con bolsa de engañosas pesas?

12 Con lo cual sus ricos se hinchieron de rapiña, y sus moradores hablaron mentira, y su lengua engañosa en su boca.

13 Por eso yo también te enflaqueceré hiriéndote, asolándote por tus pecados.

14 Tú comerás, y no te hartarás; y tu abatimiento será en medio de ti: tú cogerás, mas no salvarás; y lo que salvares, lo entregaré yo á la espada.
