and lo,sevenears,withered,thin,[and] scorchedby the eastwind,sproutedup afterthem;
"I sawalso in my dream,and behold,sevenears,fulland good,cameup on a singlestalk;
and the thinearsswallowedthe sevengoodears.Then I toldit to the magicians,but therewas noonewho could explainit to me."
Then behold,sevenears,thinand scorchedby the eastwind,sproutedup afterthem.
Therefore their inhabitantswere shortof strength,They were dismayedand putto shame;They were as the vegetationof the fieldand as the greenherb,As grasson the housetopsis scorchedbeforeit is grownup.
Thoughhe flourishesamongthe reeds,An eastwindwill come,The windof the LORDcomingup from the wilderness;And his fountainwill becomedryAnd his springwill be driedup; It will plunder[his] treasuryof everypreciousarticle.
For they sowthe windAnd they reapthe whirlwind.The standinggrainhasnoheads;It yieldsnograin.Shouldit yield,strangerswould swallowit up.
Ephraimis stricken,their rootis driedup, They will bearnofruit.Eventhoughthey bearchildren, I will slaythe preciousonesof their womb.
