11 On the day you plant, you will make it grow.[a]
    On the morning you set out the seedling, you will make it sprout.
    But the harvest will become a [rotting] pile[b]
        on a day of grief and incurable pain.

12 How horrible it will be for many people!
    They will roar like the roaring sea.
    The noise that the people make
        will be like the noise from rushing water.
13 The people will make noise like raging water.
    But Elohim will yell at them, and they will run far away.
        They will be chased away
            like husks on the mountains being blown by the wind,
                like whirling dust being blown by a storm.
