13 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:

“Look! My servants will eat,
but you will be hungry.
Look! My servants will drink,
but you will be thirsty.
Look! My servants will rejoice,
but you will be put to shame.
14 Look! My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart,
but you will cry out from an anguished heart,
and you will lament out of a broken spirit.
15 You will leave your name behind
as a curse for my chosen ones,(A)
and the Lord God will kill you;
but he will give his servants another name.(B)
16 Whoever asks for a blessing in the land
will ask for a blessing by the God of truth,(C)
and whoever swears in the land
will swear by the God of truth.
For the former troubles will be forgotten
and hidden from my sight.

The Righteous and Wicked Contrasted

13 Therefore, this is what the Lord[a] says:
“See, my servants will eat,
    but you’ll go hungry;
my servants will drink,
    but you’ll go thirsty;
my servants will rejoice,
    but you’ll be put to shame.
14 My servants will sing in gladness[b] of heart,
    but you’ll cry for help[c] from anguish of heart,
        and you’ll howl from brokenness of spirit.
15 You’ll leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse,
    and the Lord God will put you to death permanently.[d]
16 Then whoever takes an oath[e] by the God of faithfulness,
    and whoever takes an oath in the land,
        will swear by the God of faithfulness,
because the former troubles are forgotten
    and are hidden from my eyes.
