7 for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,” says the Lord.“Because they burned incense on the mountainsand offended me on the hills,I will punish them in full measure.”
8 This is what the Lord says:“When juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’So I will do for the sake of my servants – I will not destroy everyone.
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.My chosen ones will take possession of the land;my servants will live there.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for sheep,and the Valley of Achor a place where cattle graze; they will belong to my people, who seek me.
11 But as for you who abandon the Lordand forget about worshiping at my holy mountain,who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’ –
12 I predestine you to die by the sword,all of you will kneel down at the slaughtering block,because I called to you, and you did not respond,I spoke and you did not listen.You did evil before me;you chose to do what displeases me.”
13 So this is what the sovereign Lord 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 humiliated!
