Isaiah 65:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is [a]benefit in it,’
So I will act in behalf of My servants
In order (A)not to destroy [b]all of them.
9 I will bring forth [c](B)offspring from Jacob,
And an (C)heir of My mountains from Judah;
(D)My chosen ones shall inherit it,
And (E)My servants will live 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.

Isaiah 65:8-10
International Standard Version
A Remnant will be Preserved
8 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as new wine is found in the cluster,
and people have said,[a] ‘Don’t destroy it,
for there is a gift in it,’
so I’ll act for my servants’ sake,
by not destroying them all.
9 I’ll bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah they[b] will inherit[c] my mountains;
my chosen people will inherit it,
and my servants will live there.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks,
and the Valley of Achor a fold for herds,[d]
for my people who have sought me.
