They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away by a flood.
between their terraces they press out oil; they tread the winepresses but suffer thirst.
They reap in a field not their own, and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
Terrors overtake them like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries them off.
Let them vanish like water that runs away; like grass let them be trodden down and wither.
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous.
If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; indeed, I have already cursed them because you do not lay it to heart.
