13. “As a result, I have begun to strike you severely, bringing desolation because of your sins.
14. You will eat but not be satisfied, for there will be hunger within you.What you acquire, you cannot save, and what you do save,I will give to the sword.
15. You will sow but not reap; you will press olivesbut not anoint yourself with oil;and you will tread grapesbut not drink the wine.
16. The statutes of Omriand all the practices of Ahab’s househave been observed;you have followed their policies. Therefore, I will make you a desolate place and the city’s residents an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of My people.”
