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.
11 But (G)you who forsake the Lord,
    who forget (H)my holy mountain,
who (I)set a table for Fortune
    and (J)fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 I will destine you to the sword,
    and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
(K)because, when I called, you did not answer;
    when I spoke, you did not listen,
(L)but you did what was evil in my eyes
    and chose what I did not delight in.”
