Listen to this warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn my back on you.
I will make your land an empty desert.
    No one will be able to live there.”

This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:
“Gather[a] the people of Israel who were left on their land.
    Gather them the way you would gather the last grapes on a grapevine.
Check each vine,
    like the workers check each vine when they pick the grapes.”
10 Who can I speak to?
    Who can I warn?
    Who will listen to me?
The people of Israel have closed their ears,
    so they cannot hear my warnings.
They don’t like the Lord’s teachings.
    They don’t want to hear his message.
