For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
You shall sow, but not reap; you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil; you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
then let me sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me be rooted out.
for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
For whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.
