9 Commander-in-chief Yahweh says this:

Those who remain in Yisrael (Israel)

will be picked over like gleaning the last few grapes off a vine.

Return your hand over the branches like a grape-picker.

10 Who should I speak to and warn so they can list?

Wow, their ears are so closed that they can’t pay attention.

Wow, Yahweh’s message has become offensive to them—

they don’t enjoy hearing it.

11 Now I’m filled with Yahweh’s rage.

I’m tired of holding it in.

Pour it out on the children in the street

and on the young men who gather together,

because a husband will be captured with his wife—

the very elderly as well.

12 Then their houses will be turned over to others,

along with their fields and wives

because I’ll stretch out my hand

against the land’s inhabitants.

That’s Yahweh’s declaration

13 because from the smallest to the greatest,

they’re all greedy for dishonest gain.

From a prophet to the priest, everyone deals in lies.

14 They’ve lightly bandaged my people’s wound

by saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there wasn’t any peace.[ref]

15 Were they ashamed when they did something disgusting?

No, they weren’t ashamed—

they didn’t even know how to be humiliated

so therefore they’ll fall among the fallen.

At the time when I punish them, they’ll stumble.

That’s what Yahweh says.[ref]
