    says the Lord.
“Because they offered incense on the mountains
    and insulted me on hills,[b]
I’ll measure into[c] their laps
    full payment for their earlier actions.”

    “Just as new wine is found in the cluster,
and people have said,[d] ‘Don’t destroy it,
    for there is a gift in it,’
so I’ll act for my servants’ sake,
    by not destroying them all.
I’ll bring forth descendants from Jacob,
    and from Judah they[e] will inherit[f] my mountains;
my chosen people will inherit it,
    and my servants will live there.
