Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(A)“They shall glean thoroughly as a vine
    the remnant of Israel;
like a grape gatherer pass your hand again
    over its branches.”
10 (B)To whom shall I speak and give warning,
    that they may hear?
(C)Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
    (D)they cannot listen;
behold, (E)the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
    they take no pleasure in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
    (F)I am weary of holding it in.
(G)“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
    and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
(H)both husband and wife (I)shall be taken,
    the elderly and the very aged.
12 (J)Their houses shall be turned over to others,
    their fields and wives together,
for I will stretch out my hand
    against the inhabitants of the land,”
declares the Lord.

Wrath on Israel

This is what the Lord of Armies says:

Glean the remnant of Israel(A)
as thoroughly as a vine.
Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer
over the branches.

10 Who can I speak to and give such a warning[a]
that they will listen?
Look, their ear is uncircumcised,[b](B)
so they cannot pay attention.
See, the word of the Lord has become contemptible to them—
they find no pleasure in it.(C)
11 But I am full of the Lord’s wrath;
I am tired of holding it back.(D)
Pour it out on the children in the street,(E)
on the gathering of young men as well.
For both husband and wife will be captured,
the old with the very old.[c]
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(F)
their fields and wives as well,
for I will stretch out my hand(G)
against the inhabitants of the land.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
