Isaiah 65:8–16

⁸The 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 good ^oin it,’

so I will act because of My servants

and not destroy them all.

⁹I will produce descendants from Jacob, ^p

and heirs to My mountains from Judah;

My chosen ^qones will possess it,

and My servants will dwell there. ^r

¹⁰Sharon will be a pasture for flocks, ^s

and the Valley of Achor a place for cattle to lie down, ^t

for My people who have sought Me. ^u

¹¹But you who abandon the Lord,

who forget My holy mountain,

who prepare a table for Fortune

and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, ^v

¹²I 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. ^w

¹³Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:

My servants will eat,

but you will be hungry;

My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty;

My servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.

¹⁴My 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.

¹⁵You will leave your name behind

as a curse for My chosen ones, ^x

and the Lord God will kill you;

but He will give His servants another name. ^y

¹⁶Whoever is blessed in the land

will be blessed by the God of truth, ^z

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.
