Isaiah 65

8 This is what the Lord says: “As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes     and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,     there is still a blessing in it,’ so will I do in behalf of my servants;     I will not destroy them all. 9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,     and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them,     and there will my servants live. 10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks,     and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds,     for my people who seek me. 13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord 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. 14 My servants will sing     out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out     from anguish of heart     and wail in brokenness of spirit. 15 You will leave your name     for my chosen ones to use in their curses; the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,     but to his servants he will give another name. 16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land     will do so by the one true God; whoever takes an oath in the land     will swear by the one true God. For the past troubles will be forgotten     and hidden from my eyes.
