Context of Isaiah 65:9

7your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” says Adonai, “because they burned incense on the mountains, and scorned Me on the hills. So I will measure into their laps full wages for their former deeds.” 8Thus says Adonai: “As new wine is found in a cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ so I will do for My servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all. I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, an heir of My mountains from Judah. My chosen ones will inherit it, and My servants will dwell there. 10Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for My people who seek Me. 11But you who forsake Adonai, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, who fill cups of mixed wine for Fate,
