Isaiah 65:10-12
New Living Translation
10 The plain of Sharon will again be filled with flocks
for my people who have searched for me,
and the valley of Achor will be a place to pasture herds.
11 “But because the rest of you have forsaken the Lord
and have forgotten his Temple,
and because you have prepared feasts to honor the god of Fate
and have offered mixed wine to the god of Destiny,
12 now I will ‘destine’ you for the sword.
All of you will bow down before the executioner.
For when I called, you did not answer.
When I spoke, you did not listen.
You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—
and chose to do what you know I despise.”
Isaiah 65:10-12
New King James Version
10 (A)Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,
And (B)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
For My people who have (C)sought Me.
11 “But you are those who forsake the Lord,
Who forget (D)My holy mountain,
Who prepare (E)a table for [a]Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for [b]Meni.
12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
(F)Because, when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not hear,
But did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
