38 “A lot of seed you will take out to the field, but little will you gather,+ because the locust will devour it.+

13 They have sown wheat, but thorns are what they have reaped.+ They have worked themselves sick; they will be of no benefit.+ And they will certainly be* ashamed of the products of YOU people because of the burning anger of Jehovah.”

10 [The] field has been despoiled,+ [the] ground has gone to mourning;+ for [the] grain has been despoiled, [the] new wine has been dried up,+ [the] oil has faded away.+

11 Therefore, for the reason that YOU are extracting farm rent from someone lowly, and the tribute of grain YOU keep taking from him;+ houses of hewn stone YOU have built,+ but YOU will not keep dwelling in them; and desirable vineyards YOU have planted, but YOU will not keep drinking the wine of them.+

6 YOU have sown much seed, but there is a bringing of little in.+ There is an eating, but it is not to satisfaction.+ There is a drinking, but not to the point of getting intoxicated. There is a putting on of clothes, but it is not with anyone’s getting warm; and he that is hiring himself out is hiring himself out for a bag having holes.’”+
