This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says:

Thoroughly pick through the faithful few of Israel
    like someone picks through a grapevine.
    Like someone picking grapes, pass your hand over its branches again.

10 Whom can I speak to?
    Whom can I give a warning to?
    Who will listen?
    Their ears are plugged,
        and they aren’t able to pay attention.
    When Yahweh speaks his word to them,
        they show contempt for it and object to it.
11 I am filled with the anger of Yahweh.
    I am tired of holding it in.

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the gangs of young men.
    A man and his wife will be taken away
    as well as very old people.

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Let them glean the remnant(A) of Israel
    as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
    like one gathering grapes.”

    Who will listen(B) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](C)
    so they cannot hear.(D)
The word(E) of the Lord is offensive to them;
    they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(F) of the Lord,
    and I cannot hold it in.(G)

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the young men(H) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    and the old, those weighed down with years.(I)
