12 Your rich people are violent;
    your inhabitants are liars
    and their tongues speak deceitfully.
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy you,
    to ruin[a] you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;
    your stomach will still be empty.[b]
You will store up but save nothing,
    because what you save[c] I will give to the sword.
