Isaiah

Isaiah 65:11–12

¹¹But you who forsake the LORD,

who forget My holy mountain,

who set a table for Fortune^d

and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,^e

¹²I will destine you for the sword,

and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered,

because I called and you did not answer,

I spoke and you did not listen;

you did evil in My sight

and chose that in which I did not delight.”
