My people planted wheat. They gathered weeds! They worked hard and got nothing for it. Because of my fierce anger their crops have failed.

You will plant many crops in your fields, but harvest little for locusts will destroy your crops.

You will sow and not reap. You will tread the olives, but will not be anointed with oil! And you will grow the grapes but you will not drink the wine.

You sow much and reap little. You eat but you do not have enough! You drink and yet you are not filled. You clothe yourselves but you are not warm. You earns wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.

then this is what I will do to you: I will terrorize you with disease and fever. You will suffer from eye problems and depression. You will plant your crops and get nothing because your enemies will eat them.

Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.

I see that the fertile land has become a desert. Its cities are torn down because of Jehovah and his burning anger.

Is it for Jehovah of Hosts that the peoples labor for the fire? Do the nations weary themselves for vanity?

Suffer you unwilling children, says Jehovah. You pursue a purpose that is not mine. You make a covenant sacrifice without my Spirit. You add sin to sin.

How horrible it will be for those who go to Egypt for help! Cursed are those who rely on very strong warhorses, who depend on many chariots. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel. They do not seek Jehovah.

Truly the sound from the hills and mountains is the noise of false worship. Truly Jehovah our God will be our salvation.

The peaceful pastures are destroyed by Jehovah's burning anger.

You would go to a pile of grain looking for twenty bushels, but there would be only ten. You would go to draw fifty gallons of wine from a vat and find only twenty.

You are now ashamed of the fruit you had at that time. For the results of these things is death.
