Gill's Notes on the Bible
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness the house of the wicked?.... There are; they continue there. This is the voice of the Lord by the prophet, and the language of the rod of correction to be heard, exposing the sins of the people, for which the Lord had a controversy with them; particularly their mammon of unrighteousness, the vast wealth, riches, and treasures, collected together by very wicked and unlawful ways and means; and which, instead of restoring them to the persons they had defrauded of them, they retained them in their houses, notwithstanding the reproofs of the prophets, and the corrections of the Almighty. Some render it, "is there not fire?" c. k that is, in the house of the wicked, because of the treasures of wickedness, that which consumes them; but Gussetius l interprets it of fornications and adulteries. Others render it, "is there yet a man?" c. m an honourable man, as Aben Ezra, who continues in his iniquity, after the Lord's voice cries to the city; but Abendana interprets it of the prophet himself, continuing to reprove the wicked for their treasures of wickedness, and their other sins;
and the scant measure [that is] abominable? or "the ephah of leanness provoking to wrath" n; that is, a deficient measure, less than it should be; the "ephah" was a dry measure, and it was made small, as in Amos 8:5; and held less than it should; and this brought leanness and poverty upon those to whom they sold by it, as well as ruin upon themselves in the issue; for such practices as they were abominable and detestable to God; they stirred up his wrath, and brought destruction on those that used them. The Targum is,
"false measures that bring a curse.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Are there yet - Still after all the warnings and long-suffering of God, “the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked?” “Treasures of wickedness” are treasures gotten by wickedness; yet it means too that he wicked shall have no treasure, no fruit, but his wickedness. He treasureth up treasures, but of wickedness; as James saith, “Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days” James 5:3, that is, of the miseries that shall come upon them James 1:0. The words stand over against one another; “house of the wicked, treasures of wickedness;” as though the whole house of the wicked was but a “treasure-house of wickedness.” Therein it began; therein and in its rewards it shall end. “Are there yet?” the prophet asks. There shall soon cease to be. The treasure shall be spoiled; the iniquity alone shall remain.
And the scant ephah - (Literally, “ephah of leanness” the English margin) which is abominable? Scant itself, and, by the just judgment of God, producing scantness, emaciated and emaciating (See Micah 6:14); as He says, “He gave them their desire, and sent leanness withal into their soul” Psalms 106:15; and James, “it shall eat your flesh as it were fire” James 5:3. Even a pagan said, , “Gain gotten by wickedness is loss;” and that, as being “abominable” or “accursed” or, one might say, “bewrathed,” lying under the wrath and curse of God. Rib.: “What they minish from the measure, that they add to the wrath of God and the vengeance which shall come upon them; what is lacking to the measure shall be supplied out of the wrath of God.” The Ephah was a corn-measure Amos 8:5, containing about six bushels; the rich, in whose house it was, were the sellers; they were the necessaries of life then, which the rich retailers of corn were selling dishonestly, at the price of the lives of the poor . Our subtler ways of sin cheat ourselves, not God. In what ways do not competitive employers use the scant measure which is accursed? What else is all our competitive trade, our cheapness, our wealth, but scant measure to the poor, making their wages lean, full and overflowing with the wrath of God?
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Micah 6:10. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness — Such as false balances and deceitful weights. See on Hosea 12:7. This shows that they were not DOING JUSTLY. They did not give to each his due.
