9. I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,and from Judah those who will possess my mountains;my chosen people will inherit them,and there will my servants live.
10. Sharon will become a pasture for flocks,and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds,for my people who seek me.
11. ‘But as for you who forsake the Lordand forget my holy mountain,who spread a table for Fortuneand fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
12. I will destine you for the sword,and all of you will fall in the slaughter;for I called but you did not answer,I spoke but you did not listen.You did evil in my sightand chose what displeases me.’
13. Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘My servants will eat,but you will go hungry;my servants will drink,but you will go thirsty;my servants will rejoice,but you will be put to shame.
14. My servants will singout of the joy of their hearts,but you will cry outfrom anguish of heartand wail in brokenness of spirit.
15. You will leave your namefor my chosen ones to use in their curses;the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,but to his servants he will give another name.
16. Whoever invokes a blessing in the landwill do so by the one true God;whoever takes an oath in the landwill swear by the one true God.For the past troubles will be forgottenand hidden from my eyes.
