“Look, it is written here before me.
    I will not be quiet; instead, I will repay you in full.
    I will punish you for what you have done.
I will punish you for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,”
    says the Lord.
“They burned incense to gods on the mountains
    and shamed me on those hills.
So I will punish them as they should be punished
    for what they did.”

This is what the Lord says:
“When there is juice left in the grapes,
    people do not destroy them,
    because they know there is good left in them.
So I will do the same thing to my servants—
    I will not completely destroy them.

“See, it stands written before me:
    I will not keep silent(A) but will pay back(B) in full;
    I will pay it back into their laps(C)
both your sins(D) and the sins of your ancestors,”(E)
    says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,(F)
I will measure into their laps
    the full payment(G) for their former deeds.”

This is what the Lord says:

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(H)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(I)
    I will not destroy them all.

Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

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.
