5:16 This is another misfortune: 1
Just as he came, so will he go.
What did he gain from toiling for the wind?
8:7 They sow the wind,
and so they will reap the whirlwind!
The stalk does not have any standing grain;
it will not produce any flour.
Even if it were to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it all up.
