4 They sat among the graves and spent their nights in caves.They ate pork and in their pots made broth from unclean foods.
5 They said, “Stay away! Don’t touch me!I’m holier than you are.”They have become like smoke in my nose,like a smoldering fire all day long.
6 “Look! It is written in front of me.I will not be silent, but I will repay.I will repay you in full.
7 I will repay you for your sinsand for the sins of your ancestors,” says the Lord.They burnt incense on the mountains and slandered me on the hills,so I will be the first to pay them back in full.
8 This is what the Lord says:When someone finds juice for new wine in a cluster of grapes,another person will say,“Don’t destroy it, because there’s a blessing in it.”In the same way, I will do this for my servants:I will not destroy everything.
9 I will bring ⌊with me⌋ Jacob’s descendant,one who will inherit my mountains from Judah.My chosen ones will inherit them.My servants will live there.
10 The Sharon Plain will be a pasture for flocks.The Achor Valley will be a resting place for cattleand for my people who search for me.
