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