Isaiah 65:8-15

8This is what the LORD says:

“As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes,and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’so I will act on behalf of My servants;I will not destroy them all.9And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,and heirs from Judah;My elect will possess My mountains,1and My servants will dwell there.10Sharon will become a pasture for flocks,and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds,for My people who seek Me.
11But you who forsake the LORD,who forget My holy mountain,who set a table for Fortune2and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,312I will destine you for the sword,and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered,because I called and you did not answer,I spoke and you did not listen;you did evil in My sightand chose that in which I did not delight.”

13Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:

“My servants will eat,but you will go hungry;My servants will drink,but you will go thirsty;My servants will rejoice,but you will be put to shame.14My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart,but you will cry out with a heavy heartand wail with a broken spirit.
15You will leave behind your nameas a curse for My chosen ones,and the Lord GOD will slay you;but to His servants He will give another name.
