    and you have not remembered the rock of your refuge;
therefore you plant plants of pleasantness,
    and you plant[a] a vine of a foreigner.

    and in the morning of your sowing you bring them into bloom,
yet the harvest will flee[b] in a day of sickness and incurable pain.

    And the roar of nations, they roar like the roar of mighty waters!
