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.

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Let them glean the remnant(A) of Israel
    as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
    like one gathering grapes.”

10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
    Who will listen(B) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](C)
    so they cannot hear.(D)
The word(E) of the Lord is offensive to them;
    they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(F) of the Lord,
    and I cannot hold it in.(G)

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the young men(H) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    and the old, those weighed down with years.(I)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(J)
    together with their fields and their wives,(K)
when I stretch out my hand(L)
    against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
