12. You whose wealthy are full of violence,whose inhabitants speak falsehoodwith deceitful tongues in their mouths!
13. I have begun to strike youwith devastation because of your sins.
14. You shall eat, without being satisfied,food that will leave you empty;What you acquire, you cannot save;what you do save, I will deliver up to the sword.
15. You shall sow, yet not reap,tread out the olive, yet pour no oil,crush the grapes, yet drink no wine.
