Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.

Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have sacrificed upon the mountains, and have reproached me upon the hills; and I will measure back their first work in their bosom.

Thus saith the Lord: As if a grain be found in a cluster, and it be said: Destroy it not, because it is a blessing: so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I may not destroy the whole.

“See, it stands written before me:
    I will not keep silent(A) but will pay back(B) in full;
    I will pay it back into their laps(C)
both your sins(D) and the sins of your ancestors,”(E)
    says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,(F)
I will measure into their laps
    the full payment(G) for their former deeds.”

This is what the Lord says:

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(H)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(I)
    I will not destroy them all.
