11     But those of you who ignore Me, the Eternal One—
        who turn away from My sanctuaries
    And reject My holy mountain
        to chase Lady Luck and cater to Destiny—
12     Will find yourselves a bit unlucky and your destiny an early death.
        You’ll bow down and be killed like sheep brought to the slaughter
    Because when I called you, you did not answer;
        when I spoke, you refused to listen.
    Instead you did all the wrong things and made terrible choices—
        what I expressly said that I hate.

13 So this is what the Lord, the Eternal, has to say:

Eternal One: My servants will eat and eat well, while you go hungry;
        My servants will drink and be satisfied, while you are parched with thirst;
    My servants will celebrate with joy, while you are put to shame.

11 “But as for you who forsake(A) the Lord
    and forget my holy mountain,(B)
who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill bowls of mixed wine(C) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(D)
    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(E)
for I called but you did not answer,(F)
    I spoke but you did not listen.(G)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(H)

13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,(I)
    but you will go hungry;(J)
my servants will drink,(K)
    but you will go thirsty;(L)
my servants will rejoice,(M)
    but you will be put to shame.(N)
