15 You will plant your seeds,
    but you will not gather food.
You will try to squeeze oil from your olives,
    but you will not get any oil.
You will crush your grapes,
    but you will not get enough juice to have wine to drink.
16 This is because you obey the laws of Omri.[a]
    You do all the evil things that Ahab’s family does.
You follow their teachings,
    so I will let you be destroyed.
People will whistle in amazement
    when they see your destroyed city.
Then you will bear the shame
    that the other nations bring to you.”[b]
