“Behold, it is written before me:
    I will not keep silence,
    but will repay,
    yes, I will repay into their bosom,
your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh,
    “who have burned incense on the mountains,
    and blasphemed me on the hills.
    Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”

Yahweh says,

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
    and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’
so I will do for my servants’ sake,
    that I may not destroy them all.

“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.
