Isaiah 65:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Sharon shall become a pasture for the flocks,
the Valley of Achor a resting place for the cattle,
for my people who have sought me.(A)
11 But you who forsake the Lord,
who forget my holy mountain,
Who spread a table for Fortune
and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,[a]
12 You I will destine for the sword;
you shall all bow down for slaughter;
Because I called and you did not answer,
I spoke and you did not listen,
But did what is evil in my sight
and things I do not delight in, you chose,(B)
Footnotes
- 65:11–12 Destiny: the play on words is found in the Hebrew, in which “destiny” and “destine” are menî and manîthî.

11 “But as for you who forsake(E) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(F)
who spread a table for Fortune

and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(I)
for I called but you did not answer,(J)
I spoke but you did not listen.(K)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(L)
