Micah 6:14
The Punishment of Israel
13Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins. 14You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword. 15You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
