13     That is why I will strike you down with disease,[a]
        destroy you because of your wrongdoing.
14     You will eat, but you will never be satisfied;[b]
        you will always feel the gnawing pangs of hunger.
    You will store away but never keep safe;
        what you have put aside I will destroy with the sword.
15     You will sow grain but never reap it;
        you will plant olives but never anoint yourself with their sweet oil;
    You will harvest vineyards for juice but never drink the wine.
