Both your own (A)wrongdoings and the wrongdoings of your fathers together,” says the Lord.
“Because they have (B)burned incense on the mountains
And (C)scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will (D)measure their former work [a]into their laps.”

This is what the Lord says:

“Just as the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is [b]benefit in it,’
So I will act in behalf of My servants
In order (E)not to destroy [c]all of them.
I will bring forth [d](F)offspring from Jacob,
And an (G)heir of My mountains from Judah;
(H)My chosen ones shall inherit it,
And (I)My servants will live there.
