24:2 Everyone will suffer – the priest as well as the people, 1
the master as well as the servant, 2
the elegant lady as well as the female attendant, 3
the seller as well as the buyer, 4
the borrower as well as the lender, 5
the creditor as well as the debtor. 6
65:8 This is what the Lord says:
“When 7 juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,
someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ 8
So I will do for the sake of my servants –
I will not destroy everyone. 9
