Yahweh says,

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
    and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’
so I will do for my servants’ sake,
    that I may not destroy them all.
I will bring offspring out of Jacob,
    and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains.
My chosen will inherit it,
    and my servants will dwell there.
10 Sharon will be a fold of flocks,
    and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in,
    for my people who have sought me.

“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.
