27 I know when you sit down, when you come
    and when you go;
And, yes, I’ve marked every one
    of your temper tantrums against me.
28 It’s because of your temper,
    your blasphemous foul temper,
That I’m putting my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth
And turning you back
    to where you came from.

    whatever you can beg, borrow, or steal;
But the third year you’ll sow and harvest,
    plant vineyards and eat grapes.
