7. Formal Translation For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no head; it does not yield flour. Even if it should yield, strangers will swallow it up. |
7. Dynamic Translation Because they sow the wind, they will harvest the storm. The crop has no ears; it yields no flour. If it did, foreigners would devour it. |
