10 Sharon shall become a pasture for the flocks,
    the Valley of Achor a resting place for the cattle,
    for my people who have sought me.(A)
11 But you who forsake the Lord,
    who forget my holy mountain,
Who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,[a]
12 You I will destine for the sword;
    you shall all bow down for slaughter;
Because I called and you did not answer,
    I spoke and you did not listen,
But did what is evil in my sight
    and things I do not delight in, you chose,(B)

    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)
