Isaiah 65:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 (A) My people will worship me.
Then the coastlands of Sharon
and the land as far
as Achor Valley[a]
will turn into pastureland
where cattle and sheep
will feed and rest.
11 What will I, the Lord, do
if any of you reject me
and my holy mountain?
What will happen to you
for offering food and wine
to the gods you call
“Good Luck” and “Fate”?
12 Your luck will end!
I will see to it that you
are slaughtered with swords.
You refused to answer
when I called out;
you paid no attention
to my instructions.
Instead, you did what I hated,
knowing it was wrong.

Isaiah 65:10-12
New International Version
10 Sharon(A) will become a pasture for flocks,(B)
and the Valley of Achor(C) a resting place for herds,
for my people who seek(D) me.
11 “But as for you who forsake(E) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(F)
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine(G) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(H)
and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(I)
for I called but you did not answer,(J)
I spoke but you did not listen.(K)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(L)
