Isaiah 65:8-15

8This is what the Lord says: ‘If grapes still have some juice in them, someone will say, “Do not destroy them. There is some juice there that we can use.” I will do the same thing for my servants. I will not destroy them all.

9I will cause Jacob's family to have descendants. There will be people of Judah's family who will live on my mountains. The land will belong to the people that I have chosen. My servants will live there.

10Sharon will become a field where sheep safely eat grass. Cows will rest in the Valley of Achor. Those places will belong to my people, those who want to serve me.

11But punishment will come to those people who turn away from the Lord. You forget to worship me on my holy mountain. Instead, you prepare food and wine to offer to your false gods called “Luck” and “Fate”.

12So this will be your fate: a sword will kill you. You will all bend down low for someone to kill you. This will happen because you did not answer me when I spoke to you. You did not even listen to my words. You did evil things against me. You chose to do things that I would hate.’

13So the Almighty Lord says this: ‘Look! My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. Look! My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Look! My servants will be happy, but you will be ashamed.

14Yes, my servants will sing with joy because they are so happy. But you will cry aloud because you are so sad. You will weep because you are very upset.

15My own people will use your names when they curse others. The Almighty Lord will kill you, but he will give to his servants another name.
