4. Who sit among the graves,And spend the night in the tombs;Who eat swine’s flesh,And the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5. Who say, ‘Keep to yourself,Do not come near me,For I am holier than you!’These are smoke in My nostrils,A fire that burns all the day.
6. “Behold, it is written before Me:I will not keep silence, but will repay—Even repay into their bosom—
7. Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,”Says the Lord,“Who have burned incense on the mountainsAnd blasphemed Me on the hills;Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”
8. Thus says the Lord:“As the new wine is found in the cluster,And one says, ‘Do not destroy it,For a blessing is in it,’So will I do for My servants’ sake,That I may not destroy them all.
9. I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,And from Judah an heir of My mountains;My elect shall inherit it,And My servants shall dwell there.
10. Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,And the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,For My people who have sought Me.
11. “But you are those who forsake the Lord,Who forget My holy mountain,Who prepare a table for Gad,And who furnish a drink offering for Meni.
12. Therefore I will number you for the sword,And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;Because, when I called, you did not answer;When I spoke, you did not hear,But did evil before My eyes,And chose that in which I do not delight.”
13. Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, My servants shall eat,But you shall be hungry;Behold, My servants shall drink,But you shall be thirsty;Behold, My servants shall rejoice,But you shall be ashamed;
14. Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,And wail for grief of spirit.
