Isaiah 65:14-16

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹⁵ My chosen ones will use your names
    when they curse others.
I am your Lord and King.
    I will put you to death.
    But I will give new names to those who serve me.
¹⁶ They will ask me to bless their land.
    They will do it in my name.
    I am the one true God.
They will make promises in their land.
    They will do it in my name.
    I am the one true God.
The troubles of the past will be forgotten.
    They will be hidden from my eyes.
