This is what the Lord says:

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(A)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(B)
    I will not destroy them all.
I will bring forth descendants(C) from Jacob,
    and from Judah those who will possess(D) my mountains;
my chosen(E) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.(F)
10 Sharon(G) will become a pasture for flocks,(H)
    and the Valley of Achor(I) a resting place for herds,
    for my people who seek(J) me.

11 “But as for you who forsake(K) the Lord
    and forget my holy mountain,(L)
who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill bowls of mixed wine(M) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(N)
    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(O)
for I called but you did not answer,(P)
    I spoke but you did not listen.(Q)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(R)
