13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, (A)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, (B)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 (C)my chosen (D)for a curse,
    and the Lord God will put you to death,
    but his servants (E)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (F)blesses himself in the land
    shall bless himself by (G)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
    shall swear by (H)the God of truth;
(I)because the former troubles are forgotten
    and are hidden from my eyes.

17 “For behold, (J)I create new heavens
    and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
    or come into mind.
