Context of Isaiah 65:9

7as punishment for their sins and for the sins of their ancestors. They burned incense to their idols on the mountains, and they insulted me on the hills. So I will punish them completely, as much as they deserve.’ 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. I 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”.
