Isaiah 65:8-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. The Lord proclaims:As new wine is found in the grape cluster,and someone says, "Don’t destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,"so I will do for the sake of my servantsand not destroy everything:

9. I will bring out offspring from Jacob,and from Judah, heirs to my mountains.My chosen ones will take possession;my servants will dwell there.

10. Sharon will become a pasture for sheep,and the Achor Valley a resting place for cattle,for my people who seek me.

11. But you who abandon the Lord, who forget my holy mountain,who set a table for a god of good fortune,and fill cups of mixed wine for a god of fate:

12. I will offer you to the sword.You will all bow down for slaughter,because I called and you didn’t answer;I spoke and you wouldn’t hear.You did what I considered evil,and chose what I didn’t want.

13. Therefore, the Lord God says:Look, my servants will eat, but you will hunger.My servants will drink, but you will thirst.My servants will rejoice, but you will be ashamed.
