13 I have begun to strike you
    with devastation because of your sins.
14 You shall eat, without being satisfied,
    food that will leave you empty;
What you acquire, you cannot save;
    what you do save, I will deliver up to the sword.(A)
15 You shall sow, yet not reap,
    tread out the olive, yet pour no oil,
    crush the grapes, yet drink no wine.(B)
