Because of the fierce and raging anger of the Lord.”

And demand a tribute (food-tax) of grain from them,
Though you have built [luxurious] houses of square stone,
You will not live in them;
You have planted beautiful vineyards, but you will not drink their wine.

Nor will [the invading] foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
