13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy(A) you,
    to ruin[a] you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;(B)
    your stomach will still be empty.[b]
You will store up but save nothing,(C)
    because what you save[c] I will give to the sword.
15 You will plant but not harvest;(D)
    you will press olives but not use the oil,
    you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.(E)
