Listen to me as I warn you, Jerusalem.
    If not, I will turn away from you.
I will destroy you completely.
    Nobody will live on your land any more.’

The Lord Almighty said this:

‘I will let the enemy take all the people from Israel,
    like a farmer who picks all the grapes from his vine.
So check the vines carefully,
    to see if there are some grapes that you can save.’

10 I replied,

‘If I speak to people and I warn them,
    nobody will listen to me.
They have shut their ears so that they cannot hear.
They hate the Lord's message.
    They do not want to hear it.

Take warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn away(A) from you
and make your land desolate
    so no one can live in it.”

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

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

10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
    Who will listen(C) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](D)
    so they cannot hear.(E)
The word(F) of the Lord is offensive to them;
    they find no pleasure in it.
