13 So this is what the Lord God says:

“My servants will eat,
    but ·you evil people [L you] will be hungry.
My servants will drink,
    but ·you evil people [L you] will be thirsty.
My servants will ·be happy [rejoice],
    but ·you evil people [L you] will be shamed.
14 My servants will shout for joy
    because of the ·goodness [joy] of their hearts,
but ·you evil people [L you] will ·cry [shout; cry out],
    ·because you will be sad [from an anguished heart].
    You will ·cry loudly [wail; lament], because your spirits will be broken.
15 Your names will be ·like curses to [or used as a curse by; L left as a curse to] my ·servants [L chosen ones],
    and the Lord God will put you to death.
    But he will call his servants by another name.
16 People in the land who ask for blessings
    will ·ask for them from [or be blessed by] the faithful God.
And people in the land who ·make a promise [swear an oath]
    will ·promise [swear] ·in the name of the faithful God [or by the one true God],
because the troubles of the past will be forgotten.
    ·I will make those troubles go away [L …and are hidden from my eyes].
