¹⁴ You will eat, but you will still feel hungry.
You will store things and you will try to keep them safe.
But you will fail to save them.
I will cause enemies to destroy all your things in the war.
¹⁵ You will plant seeds,
but you will not bring in the harvest.
You will crush olives,
but you will not use the olive oil for yourselves.^[a]
You will crush grapes,
but you will not drink the wine from them.
¹⁶ You have obeyed the rules of King Omri.
You have done what King Ahab and all his people did.^[b]
You have copied their wicked ideas.
So I must destroy you and all your things completely.
Then people from other countries will not be kind or polite to you.
Instead, they will make you ashamed.’
