You shall betroth a wife, and another shall lie with her. You shall build a house, and you shall not live in it. You shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.
So says Jehovah, Behold, I am raising up evil against you out of your house, and shall take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor. And he shall lie with your wives in the sight of the sun.
Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the might of His arm: Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of an alien shall not drink your new wine for which you have labored.
They have sown wheat, but they have reaped thorns. They are exhausted, but they do not profit. And they shall be ashamed of your harvests, because of the anger of the anger of the face of Jehovah.
And their houses shall be turned to others, fields and wives together. For I will stretch out My hand on those living in the land, a statement of Jehovah.
So I will give their wives to others, their fields to those who possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest cuts off a profit; from the prophet and to the priest, everyone deals a lie.
So, because of your trampling on the poor ones, and you take tribute of grain from him, you have built houses of hewn stones, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the product of the olive fails, and the fields make no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,
And their wealth shall become a prize, and their houses a desolation. And they shall build houses, but not live there. And they shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.
Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it. Your ass shall be violently taken away from be- fore you, and it will not be given back. Your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall not have to you a deliverer.
