They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.

Εσπειραν σιτον αλλα θελουσι θερισει ακανθας· εκοπιασαν αλλα δεν θελουσιν ωφεληθη· και θελετε αισχυνθη δια τα προιοντα σας απο του φλογερου θυμου του Κυριου.

They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
