4. They spend their nightshiding in burial caves;they eat the meat of pigs,cooked in saucesmade of stuff unfit to eat.
5. And then they say to others,“Don't come near us!We're dedicated to God.”Such people are like smoke,irritating my nose all day.
6. I have written this down;I won't keep silent.I'll pay them backjust as their sins deserve.
7. I, the Lord, will make them payfor their sins and for thoseof their ancestors—they have disgraced meby burning incenseon mountains.
8. Here is what the Lord says:A cluster of grapesthat produces wineis worth keeping!So, because of my servants,I won't destroy everyone.
9. I have chosen the peopleof Israel and Judah,and I will bless themwith many descendants.They will settle herein this land of mountains,and it will be theirs.
