desolate because of thy sins.

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.

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.
