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.
I will also do this to you, and I shall appoint terror over you, the wasting, and the burning fever, destroying the eyes, and consuming the soul; and you shall sow your seed in vain, and your enemies will eat it.
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.
You have sown much, and brought in little; you eat, but not to satiety; you drink, but not to be filled; you dress, but there is no warmth to one. And one hiring out himself hires out himself for a bag of holes.
