Micah 6:16

[The evil king] Omri's decrees (literally "things engraved") are obeyed
and all the customs of [his son] Ahab's house
and you walk according to their counsel,
so that I must make you something that arouses wonder
and your inhabitants a hissing,
and you shall bear the reproaches of my people.
[Omri and his son Ahab (married to Jezebel) ruled the northern kingdom in the early 800s BC. Omri and Ahab did more evil than all the kings before them, see 1 Kings 16:25–26, 30–33; 2 Kings 8:18. The expression "the decrees of Omri" serves as a title for the kingdom's apostasy and idolatry. Omri's dynasty ruled until a generation before Mic., when Zechariah died, see 2 Kings 15:8.]
