14 You will eat but not be satisfied,
    for your stomach will continue to experience hunger.
You will acquire but be unable to save,
    and what you do save,
    I will deliver up to the sword.

you will press the olives
    but you will not anoint yourself with oil;
you will tread the grapes
    but you will not drink the wine.

    and all the practices of the house of Ahab;
    you have adopted all their policies.
Therefore, I will make your land desolate
    and your citizens an object of scorn.
From this time on
    you will endure the scorn of other nations.”
