and he that is as manly of stomach as a giant, shall in that day be fain to run his way naked,' sayeth the LORD."

I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.

Therefore the wise must now be fain to hold his tongue, so wicked a time is it.

In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.

Yea, even ye that rejoice in vain things: ye that say, 'Have not we obtained horns in our own strength?'

And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.
