Ecclesiastes 5:16

5:16 This is another misfortune: ¹ 

Just as he came, so will he go.

What did he gain from toiling for the wind?

Hosea 8:7

The Fertility Cultists Will Become Infertile

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.

[5:16]  ¹ tn See the note on the phrase “depressing misfortune” in v. 13.
