Isaiah 65:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷I will punish you for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,”
    says the Lord.
“They burned incense to false gods on the mountains.
    They shamed me on those hills.
So I will punish them as they should be punished
    for what they did.”

⁸This is what the Lord says:
“When there is juice left in the grapes,
    people do not destroy them.
    They know there is good left in them.
I will do the same thing to my servants.
    I will not completely destroy them.
⁹I will leave some of the children of Jacob.
    Some of the people of Judah will receive my mountain.
I will choose the people who will live there.
    My servants will live there.
