Be warned, O Jerusalem,
    lest I turn away from you in disgust,
lest I make you a desolation,
    a land that is not inhabited.”
Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
    “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine,
    turn back your hand over the branches like a grape-gatherer.
10 To whom shall I speak and admonish,
    that they may hear?
Look, their ears are closed,[a]
    and they are not able to listen attentively.
Look, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn,
    they do not delight in it.

  1. Jeremiah 6:10 Literally “uncircumcised”

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.
