14 “You will eat, but you will (A)not be satisfied,
And your [a]vileness will be in your midst.
You will try to remove for safekeeping,
But you will (B)not preserve anything,
And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.
15 “You will sow but you will (C)not reap.
You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;
And the grapes, but you will (D)not drink wine.
16 “The statutes of (E)Omri
And all the works of the house of (F)Ahab are observed;
And in their devices you (G)walk.
Therefore I will give you up for (H)destruction
And [b]your inhabitants for (I)derision,
And you will bear the (J)reproach of My people.”
