Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 15 is found in chapter 6 of Micah. Sowing but not harvesting, pressing olives but not enjoying the oil, and producing wine without drinking it express a reversal of labor. The fruits of effort become inaccessible as a consequence of collective conduct.

Du sollst säen, und nicht ernten; du sollst Öl keltern, und dich damit nicht salben, und Most keltern, und nicht Wein trinken.
Tú sembrarás, mas no segarás: pisarás aceitunas, mas no te ungirás con el aceite; y mosto, mas no beberás el vino.
Tú sembrarás, pero no cosecharás; tú pisarás aceitunas, pero no te ungirás con aceite, y uvas, pero no beberás vino.
Tu sèmeras, et tu ne moissonneras pas, Tu presseras l'olive, et tu ne feras pas d'onctions avec l'huile, Tu presseras le moût, et tu ne boiras pas le vin.
Tu seminerai, e non mieterai; tu pesterai le ulive, e non ti ungerai dell’olio; e il mosto, e non berrai il vino.
Tu semearás, mas não segarás; pisarás a azeitona, mas não te ungirás com azeite; e pisarás o mosto, mas não beberás vinho.
你撒種,卻不得收割; 踹橄欖,卻不得油抹身; 有新酒,卻不得酒喝。
