    their[a] iniquities and their[b] ancestors’ iniquities together,
says the Lord;
because they offered incense on the mountains
    and reviled me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps
    full payment for their actions.

As the 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,

    and from Judah inheritors[d] of my mountains;
my chosen shall inherit it,
    and my servants shall settle there.
