Micah 6:16 in Context — Micah 6

14 Tu comerás, mas não te saciarás; e fome haverá no meio de ti; tu pegarás, mas não levarás [contigo] ; e o que levares, eu [o] entregarei à espada.

15 Tu semearás, mas não colherás; pisarás azeitonas, mas não te ungirás com óleo; [pisarás] uvas, mas não beberás vinho.

16 Pois são os mandamentos de Onri, e todas as obras da casa de Acabe, que são obedecidos; e vós praticais seus conselhos. Por isso eu te tornarei desolada, e teus moradores serão motivo de assovio. Assim levareis a humilhação de meu povo.
