Isaiah 65:8–12

8 This is what the Lord says:

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapesa

and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,

there is still a blessing in it,’

so will I do in behalf of my servants;b

I will not destroy them all.

9 I will bring forth descendantsc from Jacob,

and from Judah those who will possessd my mountains;

my chosene people will inherit them,

and there will my servants live.f

10 Sharong will become a pasture for flocks,h

and the Valley of Achori a resting place for herds,

for my people who seekj me.

11 “But as for you who forsakek the Lord

and forget my holy mountain,l

who spread a table for Fortune

and fill bowls of mixed winem for Destiny,

12 I will destine you for the sword,n

and all of you will fall in the slaughter;o

for I called but you did not answer,p

I spoke but you did not listen.q

You did evil in my sight

and chose what displeases me.”r
