Micah 6:12 in Context — Micah 6

10 Y a-t-il encore dans la maison du méchant Des trésors iniques, Et un épha trop petit, objet de malédiction?

11 Est-on pur avec des balances fausses, Et avec de faux poids dans le sac?

12 Ses riches sont pleins de violence, Ses habitants profèrent le mensonge, Et leur langue n’est que tromperie dans leur bouche.

13 C’est pourquoi je te frapperai par la souffrance, Je te ravagerai à cause de tes péchés.

14 Tu mangeras sans te rassasier, Et la faim sera au-dedans de toi; Tu mettras en réserve et tu ne sauveras pas, Et ce que tu sauveras, je le livrerai à l’épée.
