11 But (A)you who forsake the Lord,
    who forget (B)my holy mountain,
who (C)set a table for Fortune
    and (D)fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 I will destine you to the sword,
    and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
(E)because, when I called, you did not answer;
    when I spoke, you did not listen,
(F)but you did what was evil in my eyes
    and chose what I did not delight in.”

13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, (G)my servants shall eat,
    but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
    but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
    but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, (H)my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
    but you shall cry out for pain of heart
    and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to (I)my chosen (J)for a curse,
    and the Lord God will put you to death,
    but his servants (K)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (L)blesses himself in the land
    shall bless himself by (M)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
    shall swear by (N)the God of truth;
(O)because the former troubles are forgotten
    and are hidden from my eyes.

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.
15 You will leave your name
    for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(Q)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
    but to his servants he will give another name.(R)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(S) in the land
    will do so by the one true God;(T)
whoever takes an oath in the land
    will swear(U) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(V) will be forgotten
    and hidden from my eyes.
