Both [a]their own (A)iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together,” says the Lord.
“Because they have (B)burned incense on the mountains
And (C)scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will (D)measure their former work into their bosom.”

Thus says the Lord,

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is [b]benefit in it,’
So I will act on behalf of My servants
In order (E)not to destroy [c]all of them.
“I will bring forth (F)offspring from Jacob,
And an (G)heir of My mountains from Judah;
Even (H)My chosen ones shall inherit it,
And (I)My servants will dwell there.

    there is still a blessing in it,’

my chosen(I) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.(J)
