12 Your[a] rich men are full of violence;
    your[b] inhabitants speak lies,
    and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore I have begun[c] to smite you,
    making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
    and there shall be hunger in your inward parts;
you shall put away, but not save,
    and what you save I will give to the sword.
