14 You will eat, but you will (A)not be satisfied,
And your [a]vileness will be in your midst.
And you will try to remove something for safekeeping,
But you will (B)not cause anything to escape,
And that which you do have escape, I will give to the sword.
15 You will sow but you will (C)not reap.
You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;
And the grapes, but you will (D)not drink wine.
16 The statutes of (E)Omri
And all the works of the house of (F)Ahab are kept;
And in their counsels you (G)walk.
Therefore I will give you up as (H)an object of horror
And [b]your inhabitants as an (I)object of hissing,
And you will bear the (J)reproach of My people.”
