Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

Sanctus Israël Domino, primitiæ frugum ejus : omnes qui devorant eum delinquunt : mala venient super eos, dicit Dominus.
Vulgate
ἅγιος Ἰσραὴλ τῷ κυρίῳ, ἀρχὴ γενημάτων αὐτοῦ· πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντες αὐτὸν πλημμελήσουσιν, κακὰ ἥξει ἐπ’ αὐτούς, φησὶν Κύριος.
LXX
Israel was holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.
