When israel

I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the soul to pine away; also, you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up.

Let me sow and another eat,
And let my

crops be uprooted.

“They will build houses and inhabit them;
They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

“You will sow but you will not reap.
You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;
And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.
