Isaiah 65:10-12
New King James Version
10 (A)Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,
And (B)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
For My people who have (C)sought Me.
11 “But you are those who forsake the Lord,
Who forget (D)My holy mountain,
Who prepare (E)a table for [a]Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for [b]Meni.
12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
(F)Because, when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not hear,
But did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

Isaiah 65:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 Sharon will become a field where sheep safely eat grass.
Cows will rest in the Valley of Achor.
Those places will belong to my people,
those who want to serve me.
11 But punishment will come
to those people who turn away from the Lord.
You forget to worship me on my holy mountain.[a]
Instead, you prepare food and wine
to offer to your false gods called “Luck” and “Fate”.
12 So this will be your fate:
a sword will kill you.
You will all bend down low for someone to kill you.
This will happen because you did not answer me
when I spoke to you.
You did not even listen to my words.
You did evil things against me.
You chose to do things that I would hate.’
