Reading for January 17th

Read Micah 6.9-16, In 6.9-16Judgment on Israel's businessmen. Micah resumes his attack on Israel's leadership, indicting its wealthy citizens for cheating the poor(vv.9-12) and imposing a sentence by which they will be unable to enjoy the profits they have earned unfairly (vv. 13-16). In verse 11: Merchants use false weights to shortchange customers (Am 8.5). In verse 16: Omri and Ahab were the first two kings of a dynasty that ruled Samaria for 131 years (876-745 BCE).
