There isn’t enough of it to fill a person’s hand. There isn’t enough to tie up and carry away.

收割的不够一把，捆禾的也不满怀。

收割的不够用手抓一把，捆禾的也不够抱满怀。

收割的不够用手抓一把，捆禾的也不够抱满怀。

割下来不满一把，扎起来不足一捆。

收割的不够一把，捆禾的不够满怀。

收割的填不满自己的手，捆禾的填不满自己的怀；

收割的不夠一把，捆禾的也不滿懷。

收割的不夠用手抓一把，捆禾的也不夠抱滿懷。

收割的不夠用手抓一把，捆禾的也不夠抱滿懷。

割下來不滿一把，紮起來不足一捆。

收割的不夠一把，捆禾的不夠滿懷。

收割的不夠一把，捆禾的不夠滿懷；

收割的填不滿自己的手，捆禾的填不滿自己的懷；

收穫者不盈其握、束禾者不滿其懷、

無人刈之而盈掬、無人束之而滿懷兮、

芟之者不能盈把、束之者不能滿懷、

采之不盈掬。束之不盈袂。

a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,

ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.

and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

With which the harvester does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his arms;

With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom:

and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

which cannot fill the reaper’s hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Some people plant to please their desires controlled by sin. From these desires they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life.

Those who go out weeping as they carry seeds to plant will come back singing with joy. They will bring the new crop back with them.

Israel, you have forgotten God, who saves you. You have not remembered the Rock, who keeps you safe. You might set out the finest plants. You might plant vines from other lands.The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out. The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them. But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest. Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

The Lord says,“ Worshiping other gods is like worshiping the wind. It is like planting worthless seeds. Assyria is like a windstorm. That is all my people will harvest. There are no heads of grain on the stems that will come up. So they will not produce any flour. Even if they did produce grain, the Assyrians would eat all of it up.
