The Lord says this:

“As the new wine is found in a bunch of grapes,
and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it,
for there’s some good[a] in it,’
so I will act because of my servants
and not destroy them all.
I will produce descendants from Jacob,(A)
and heirs to my mountains from Judah;
my chosen(B) ones will possess it,
and my servants will dwell there.(C)
10 Sharon will be a pasture for flocks,(D)
and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,(E)
for my people who have sought me.(F)

Thus says the Lord:
(A)“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
    and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
    for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants' sake,
    (B)and not destroy them all.
(C)I will bring forth offspring from Jacob,
    and from Judah possessors of my mountains;
my chosen shall possess it,
    and my servants shall dwell there.
10 (D)Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks,
    and (E)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
    for my people (F)who have sought me.
