7 for your iniquities and the iniquitiesh

of yourD ancestors together,”

says the Lord.

“Because they burned incense on the mountains

and reproached me on the hills,i

I will reward them fullyE

for their former deeds.”

8 The Lord says this:

“As the new wine is found in a bunch of grapes,

and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it,

for there’s some goodF in it,’

so I will act because of my servants

and not destroy them all.

9 I will produce descendants from Jacob,j

and heirs to my mountains from Judah;

my chosenk ones will possess it,

and my servants will dwell there.l

10 Sharon will be a pasture for flocks,m

and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,n

for my people who have sought me.o

11 But you who abandon the Lord,

who forget my holy mountain,

who prepare a table for Fortune

and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,G

12 I will destine you for the sword,

and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,

because I called and you did not answer,

I spoke and you did not hear;

you did what was evil in my sight

and chose what I did not delight in.”p

13 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:

“Look! My servants will eat,

but you will be hungry.

Look! My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

Look! My servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.

14 Look! My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart,

but you will cry out from an anguished heart,

and you will lament out of a broken spirit.

15 You will leave your name behind

as a curse for my chosen ones,q

and the Lord God will kill you;

but he will give his servants another name.r

16 Whoever asks for a blessing in the land

will ask for a blessing by the God of truth,s

and whoever swears in the land

will swear by the God of truth.

For the former troubles will be forgotten

and hidden from my sight.
