15 You will sow, but won’t reap.
    You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil;
    and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.

    and all the works of Ahab’s house.

    that I may make you a ruin,
    and her inhabitants a hissing;
    And you will bear the reproach of my people.”

    you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.(B)
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri(C)
    and all the practices of Ahab’s(D) house;
    you have followed their traditions.(E)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin(F)
    and your people to derision;
    you will bear the scorn(G) of the nations.[a]
