14 You will eat, but you won’t become full.
    You will still be hungry and empty.
You will store up but save nothing.
    What you store up the sword will destroy.
15 You will plant,
    but you won’t harvest.
You will squeeze your olives.
    But you won’t get any oil from them to put on your skin.
You will crush the grapes.
    But you will not drink the wine.
16 This is because you obey the wicked laws of King Omri.
    You do all the evil that Ahab’s family does.
    You follow their teachings.
So I will let you be destroyed.
    The people in your city will be laughed at.
    Other nations will make fun of you.
