    and they will reap the whirlwind.

    The stalk will yield no head.
    If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Israel is swallowed up.
    Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

And they harvest a (B)storm.

Israel has been (D)swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a (E)vessel in which no one delights.
