    and have not kept in mind the Rock, your refuge.
Therefore, you plant your pagan gardens
    and sow exotic seeds for a foreign god.

    on the day that you plant them,
and make them sprout blossoms

    its volume like that of mighty waves.

yet the harvest(G) will be as nothing(H)
    in the day of disease and incurable(I) pain.(J)
