I will repay you for your sins
    and for the sins of your ancestors,” says Yahweh.
    They burnt incense on the mountains and slandered me on the hills,
    so I will be the first to pay them back in full.

This is what Yahweh says:

When someone finds juice for new wine in a cluster of grapes,
    another person will say,
        “Don’t destroy it, because there’s a blessing in it.”
    In the same way, I will do this for my servants:
    I will not destroy everything.
I will bring with me Jacob’s descendant,
    one who will inherit my mountains from Judah.
        My chosen ones will inherit them.
        My servants will live there.

    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(F)

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)
