11 But as for you who (A)abandon the Lord,
Who forget My (B)holy mountain,
Who set a table for [a]Fortune,
And fill a jug of mixed wine for [b]Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the (C)sword,
And all of you will bow down to the (D)slaughter.
Because I called, but you (E)did not answer;
I spoke, but you did not listen.
Instead, you did evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”

11 But as for you who forsake the Lord,
    who forget my holy mountain,
who spread a table for Fortune[a]
    and[b] fill drink offerings[c] for Destiny,[d]
12 I’ll consign[e] you to the sword,
    and all of you will bend down for the slaughter—
because when I called, you didn’t answer,
    when I spoke, you didn’t listen;
but you did what was evil in my sight,
    and chose what I took no pleasure in.”
