Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 6 of Micah. They will eat but not be satisfied and carry their goods without being able to save them. These images of frustration show the inability of accumulated wealth to provide security when justice has been abandoned.

Du sollst nicht genug zu essen haben und sollst verschmachten. Und was du beiseite schaffst, soll doch nicht davonkommen; und was davonkommt, will ich doch dem Schwert überantworten.
Tú comerás, y no te hartarás; y tu abatimiento será en medio de ti: tú cogerás, mas no salvarás; y lo que salvares, lo entregaré yo a la espada.
Tu mangeras sans te rassasier, Et la faim sera au dedans de toi; Tu mettras en réserve et tu ne sauveras pas, Et ce que tu sauveras, je le livrerai à l'épée.
Tu mangerai, e non sarai saziato; e il tuo abbassamento sarà dentro di te; tu darai di piglio, ma non salverai; e ciò che tu avrai salvato io lo darò alla spada.
Tu comerás, mas não te fartarás e a tua humilhação estará no meio de ti; removerás os teus bens mas não livrarás; e aquilo que livrares, eu o entregarei à espada.
你要吃,卻吃不飽, 你的肚子仍是空空。 你必被挪去,不得逃脫; 如有逃脫的,我必交給刀劍。
