Isaiah 65:8-10
New English Translation
8 This is what the Lord says:
“When[a] juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,
someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’[b]
So I will do for the sake of my servants—
I will not destroy everyone.[c]
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.
My chosen ones will take possession of the land;[d]
my servants will live there.
10 Sharon[e] will become a pasture for sheep,
and the Valley of Achor[f] a place where cattle graze;[g]
they will belong to my people, who seek me.[h]
