This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
From top to bottom, let them harvest
    the remaining few in Israel.
        Pick clean every
        last grape on the vine!
10 To whom can I speak and warn?
    How can I get someone’s attention?
        Their ears are shut tight,[a]
        so they won’t hear.
They are ashamed of the Lord’s word
    and take no pleasure in it.
11 But I’m filled with the Lord’s rage
    and am tired of holding it in.

Pour it out on the children in the streets
    and on the youths gathered together;
    husband with wife will be trapped,
        as will those old and gray.
12 Their homes will be turned over to others,
    their fields and wives as well.
I will stretch out my hand
    against the people of this land,
        declares the Lord.
