Behold, (A)it is written before me:
    (B)“I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
(C)I will indeed repay into their lap
    both your iniquities (D)and your fathers' iniquities together,
says the Lord;
(E)because they made offerings on the mountains
    (F)and insulted me on the hills,
I will measure into their lap
    payment for their former deeds.”[a]

Thus says the Lord:
(G)“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
    and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
    for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants' sake,
    (H)and not destroy them all.

  1. Isaiah 65:7 Or I will first measure their payment into their lap

“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.
