Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turn [a]back thine hand as the grape gatherer into the baskets.

10 Unto whom shall I speak, and admonish that they may hear? behold, their ears are [b]uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them as a reproach: they have no delight in it.

11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: [c]I will pour it out upon the [d]children in the street, and likewise upon the assembly of the young men: for the husband shall even be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of days.
