10
"Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of 1wickedness And a b2short measure that is cursed ?
11
"Can I justify wicked 3scales And a bag of deceptive weights ?
12
"For the rich men of the ccity are full of 4violence, Her residents speak 5lies, And their 6tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13
"So also I will make you 7sick, striking you down, 8Desolating you because of your sins.
14
"You will eat, but you will 9not be satisfied, And your dvileness will be in your midst. You will try to remove for safekeeping, But you will 10not preserve anything, And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.

16
