“But you caused the Nazirites to sin by making them drink wine, and you commanded the prophets, ‘Shut up!’

You trample the poor, stealing their grain through taxes and unfair rent. Therefore, though you build beautiful stone houses, you will never live in them. Though you plant lush vineyards, you will never drink wine from them.
