Thus says Yahweh,

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not make it a ruin, for there is [a]benefit in it,’
So I will act on behalf of My slaves
In order (A)not to make [b]all of them a ruin.
I will bring forth a (B)seed from Jacob,
And a (C)possessor of My mountains from Judah;
Even (D)My chosen ones shall possess it,
And (E)My slaves will dwell there.
10 (F)Sharon will be a pasture land for flocks,
And the (G)valley of Achor a resting place for herds,
For My people who (H)seek Me.

  2. Isaiah 65:8 Lit the whole

“But I will not destroy them all,”
    says the Lord.
“For just as good grapes are found among a cluster of bad ones
    (and someone will say, ‘Don’t throw them all away—
    some of those grapes are good!’),
so I will not destroy all Israel.
    For I still have true servants there.
I will preserve a remnant of the people of Israel[a]
    and of Judah to possess my land.
Those I choose will inherit it,
    and my servants will live there.
10 The plain of Sharon will again be filled with flocks
    for my people who have searched for me,
    and the valley of Achor will be a place to pasture herds.
