15 You will plant seeds.
    But you will not harvest any crops.
You will press olives.
    But you will not use the oil.
You will crush grapes.
    But you will not drink the wine
    that is made from them.
16 You have followed the evil practices
    of King Omri of Israel.
You have done what the family
    of King Ahab did.
You have followed their bad example.
    So I will let you be destroyed.
Others will make fun of you.
    The nations will laugh at you.”

    you will bear the scorn(G) of the nations.[a]
