14 You will eat but not be satisfied,
with hunger gnawing inside you.
You will conceive but not give birth;
if you do give birth, I will give him to the sword.
15 You will sow but will not reap,
you will press olives but not rub yourself with oil,
likewise you will press grapes but not drink the wine.

modeling yourselves on their advice.

the inhabitants of this city a cause for contempt;
you will suffer the insults aimed at my people.”
