11 “But some of you have deserted me.
    You no longer worship on my holy mountain of Zion.
You spread a table for the god called Good Fortune.
    You offer bowls of mixed wine to the god named Fate.
12 So I will make it your fate to be killed by swords.
    All of you will die in the battle.
That’s because I called out to you, but you did not answer me.
    I spoke to you, but you did not listen.
You did what is evil in my sight.
    You chose to do what does not please me.”

13 So the Lord and King says,

“Those who serve me will have food to eat.
    But you will be hungry.
My servants will have plenty to drink.
    But you will be thirsty.
Those who serve me will be full of joy.
    But you will be put to shame.
14 My servants will sing
    with joy in their hearts.
But you will cry out
    because of the great pain in your hearts.
    You will cry because your spirits are sad.

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)
14 My servants will sing(O)
    out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(P)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
