Yahweh is speaking.
For the people sow the wind and reap the whirlwind
This is figurative language showing cause and effect of Israel's actions: they have "planted" (or committed) evil actions and as a consequence will "reap" (or experience) the destructive results of Yahweh's wrath. (UDB) (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
The standing grain has no heads
"Head" here refers to the part of the plant where the grain is. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
