13
So I have made you sick by striking you! I have struck you because of your sins.
14
You devour, but you aren't satisfied; a gnawing emptiness is within you. You put something aside, but you don't keep it safe. That which you do try to keep safe, I will give to the sword.
15
You sow, but you don't gather. You tread down olives, but you don't anoint with oil; you tread grapes, but don't drink wine.
16
Yet you have kept the policies of Omri, all the practices of the house of Ahab; you have followed their counsels. Therefore, I will make you a sign of destruction, your inhabitants an object of hissing! You must bear the reproach of my people.
