Isaiah 65:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Thus says the Lord:
As the wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, “Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,”
so I will do for my servants’ sake
and not destroy them all.
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob
and from Judah inheritors of my mountains;
my chosen shall inherit it,
and my servants shall settle there.(A)
10 Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks
and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
for my people who have sought me.(B)
Isaiah 65:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Thus says Yahweh: “Just as the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say ‘You must not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,’ so I will do for the sake of my servants by[a] not destroying everyone.[b]
9 And I will bring descendant s[c] out from Jacob,
and a people[d] from Judah to take possession of my mountain,
and my chosen ones shall inherit it,
and my servants shall settle there.
10 And Sharon shall become a pasture for[e] flocks,[f]
and the valley of Achor a resting place for[g] herds[h]
for my people who have sought me.
