Israel's Guilt and Punishment
9Listen! The LORD is calling to the city—
and to fear your name is wisdom—
“Heed the rod and the One who appointed it.The meaning of the Hebrew for this line is uncertain.
10Am I still to forget, O wicked house,
your ill-gotten treasures
and the short ephah,An ephah was a dry measure. which is accursed?
11Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales,
with a bag of false weights?

12Her rich men are violent;
her people are liars
and their tongues speak deceitfully.

13Therefore, I have begun to destroy you,
to ruin you because of your sins.

14You will eat but not be satisfied;
your stomach will still be empty.The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.
You will store up but save nothing,
because what you save I will give to the sword.

15You will plant but not harvest;
you will press olives but not use the oil on yourselves,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.

16You have observed the statutes of Omri
and all the practices of Ahab's house,
and you have followed their traditions.
Therefore I will give you over to ruin
and your people to derision;
you will bear the scorn of the nations.Septuagint; Hebrew scorn due my people
