⁹ This is what the Lord of armies says:
“They will ^(A)thoroughly glean the ^(B)remnant of Israel like the vine;
Pass your hand over the branches again
Like a grape gatherer.”
¹⁰ To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their ^(C)ears are ^[a]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, ^(D)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
¹¹ But I am ^(E)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am ^(F)weary of holding it in.
“^(G)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the ^[b]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old ^[c]and the very old.
¹² Their ^(H)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will ^(I)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.
