10 The plain of Sharon will again be filled with flocks
    for my people who have searched for me,
    and the valley of Achor will be a place to pasture herds.

11 “But because the rest of you have forsaken the Lord
    and have forgotten his Temple,
and because you have prepared feasts to honor the god of Fate
    and have offered mixed wine to the god of Destiny,
12 now I will ‘destine’ you for the sword.
    All of you will bow down before the executioner.
For when I called, you did not answer.
    When I spoke, you did not listen.
You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—
    and chose to do what you know I despise.”

11 “But as for you who forsake(E) the Lord
    and forget my holy mountain,(F)
who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill bowls of mixed wine(G) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(H)
    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)
