The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

And what does Yahweh require of you

But to do justice, to love lovingkindness,

Desolating you because of your sins.

But you will not cause anything to escape,

And that which you do have escape, I will give to the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:15 -

“You will sow but you will not reap.

You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;

And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.

“The statutes of Omri

And all the works of the house of Ahab are kept;

And in their counsels you walk.

Therefore I will give you up as an object of horror

And [fn]your inhabitants as an object of hissing,

And you will bear the reproach of My people.”
