9. Thus says the Lord of hosts:Glean, glean like a vinethe remnant of Israel;Pass your hand, like a vintager,repeatedly over the tendrils.
10. To whom shall I speak?whom shall I warn, and be heard?See! their ears are uncircumcised,they cannot pay attention;See, the word of the Lord has become for theman object of scorn, for which they have no taste.
11. But the wrath of the Lord brims up within me,I am weary of holding it in.I will pour it out upon the child in the street,upon the young men gathered together.Yes, husband and wife will be taken,elder with ancient.
12. Their houses will fall to others,their fields and their wives as well;For I will stretch forth my handagainst those who dwell in the land—oracle of the Lord.
13. Small and great alike, all are greedy for gain;prophet and priest, all practice fraud.
14. They have treated lightlythe injury to my people:“Peace, peace!” they say,though there is no peace.
