8–10God’s Message:

“But just as one bad apple doesn’t ruin the whole bushel,

there are still plenty of good apples left.

So I’ll preserve those in Israel who obey me.

I won’t destroy the whole nation.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord:

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,

and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,

for there is a blessing in it,’

so I will do for my servants’ sake,

and not destroy them all.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

This is what the Lord says:

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

and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,

there is still a blessing in it,’

so will I do in behalf of my servants;

I will not destroy them all.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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 good in it,’

so I will act because of my servants

and not destroy them all.

NLTNew Living Translation

“But I will not destroy them all,”

says the Lord.

“For just as good grapes are found among a cluster of bad ones

(and someone will say, ‘Don’t throw them all away—

some of those grapes are good!’),

so I will not destroy all Israel.

For I still have true servants there.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord,

As the new wine is found in the cluster,

And one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it:

So will I do for my servants’ sakes,

That I may not destroy them all.
