12 He will make some of them officers in charge of a thousand men, and others in charge of fifty men. Your sons will have to plough his fields, harvest his crops, and make his weapons and the equipment for his chariots.
13 Your daughters will have to make perfumes for him and work as his cooks and his bakers.
14 He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves, and give them to his officials.
15 He will take a tenth of your corn and of your grapes for his court officers and other officials.
16 He will take your servants and your best cattle and donkeys, and make them work for him.
17 He will take a tenth of your flocks. And you yourselves will become his slaves.
18 When that time comes, you will complain bitterly because of your king, whom you yourselves chose, but the Lord will not listen to your complaints.”
