Micah 6:13–15

Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,

making you desolate because of your sins.

You shall eat, but not be satisfied,

and there shall be hunger within you;

you shall put away, but not preserve,

and what you preserve I will give to the sword.

You shall sow, but not reap;

you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;

you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.

Therefore, I have begun to destroy you,

to ruin you because of your sins.

You will eat but not be satisfied;

your stomach will still be empty.

You will store up but save nothing,

because what you save I will give to the sword.

You will plant but not harvest;

you will press olives but not use the oil,

you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.

“As a result, I have begun to strike you severely,

bringing desolation because of your sins.

You will eat but not be satisfied,

for there will be hunger within you.

What you acquire, you cannot save,

and what you do save,

I will give to the sword.

You will sow but not reap;

you will press olives

but not anoint yourself with oil;

and you will tread grapes

but not drink the wine.

“Therefore, I will wound you!

I will bring you to ruin for all your sins.

You will eat but never have enough.

Your hunger pangs and emptiness will remain.

And though you try to save your money,

it will come to nothing in the end.

You will save a little,

but I will give it to those who conquer you.

You will plant crops

but not harvest them.

You will press your olives

but not get enough oil to anoint yourselves.

You will trample the grapes

but get no juice to make your wine.

And I also have made you sick by striking you down,

making you desolate because of your sins.

You yourself will eat but not be satisfied;

your hunger will be in your midst,

and you will put away, but you will not save,

and what you save I will hand over to the sword.

You yourself will sow, but you will not reap;

you will tread olives, but you will not anoint yourself with oil;

you will tread grapes, but you will not drink wine.

Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee,

In making thee desolate because of thy sins.

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied;

And thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee;

And thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver;

And that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap;

Thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil;

And sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
