I will punish you for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,”
    says the Lord.
“They burned incense to false gods on the mountains.
    They shamed me on those hills.
So I will punish them as they should be punished
    for what they did.”

This is what the Lord says:
“When there is juice left in the grapes,
    people do not destroy them.
    They know there is good left in them.
I will do the same thing to my servants.
    I will not completely destroy them.
I will leave some of the children of Jacob.
    Some of the people of Judah will receive my mountain.
I will choose the people who will live there.
    My servants will live there.

“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,(C)

“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)
