What does Micah 5:13 mean?

You’ll eat but never be satisfied. Hunger will always gnaw at you. You’ll store things away but never keep them safe. What you do save, I’ll hand over to the sword. Micah 5:13 - Modern Text Bible

(God warns that their efforts will be fruitless—they’ll never feel satisfied or secure, and what little they manage to keep will be taken from them. It’s a picture of emptiness and loss caused by their choices.)
