I will punish you for your sins and your ·ancestors’ [fathers’] sins,”
    says the Lord.
“They burned incense ·to gods on [L on] the mountains
    and ·shamed [insulted; defied] me on those hills.
So I will ·punish them as they should be punished
    for what they did [L measure into their laps/bosoms payment for their former deeds].”

This is what the Lord says:
“When there is ·juice left [new wine; or good grapes] in a bunch of grapes,
    people say, “Don’t destroy it,
    because there is ·good left [L blessing] in it.”
So I will do the same thing to my servants—
    I will not destroy them all.
I will ·leave some of the children of [produce/bring forth offspring/seed from] Jacob,
    and some of the people of Judah will ·receive [possess; inherit] my mountain.
·I will choose the people who [My chosen ones] will ·live there [possess/inherit it];
    my servants will live there.

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(E)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(F)
    I will not destroy them all.
I will bring forth descendants(G) from Jacob,
    and from Judah those who will possess(H) my mountains;
my chosen(I) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.(J)
