13 Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh,

“Behold, My slaves will (A)eat, but you will be (B)hungry.
Behold, My slaves will (C)drink, but you will be (D)thirsty.
Behold, My slaves will (E)be glad, but you will be (F)put to shame.
14 Behold, My slaves will (G)shout joyfully with a merry heart,
But you will (H)cry out with a pained heart,
And you will wail with a broken spirit.
15 You will leave your name for a [a](I)curse to My chosen ones,
And Lord Yahweh will put you to death.
But [b]My slaves will be called by (J)another name,
16 Because he who [c]is blessed in the earth
Will [d]be blessed by the (K)God of truth,
And he who swears in the earth
Will (L)swear by the God of truth;
Because the former distresses are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My sight!
