Isaiah 65:13-16
Legacy Standard Bible
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!

Evangelical Heritage Version
13 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says.
Watch! My servants will eat,
but you will go hungry.
Watch! My servants will drink,
but you will be thirsty.
Watch! My servants will rejoice,
but you will be ashamed.
14 Watch! My servants will shout because of the joy in their heart,
but you will cry out because of the pain in your heart,
and because of a broken spirit you will wail.
15 You will leave your name for my chosen ones to use as a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but he will call his servants by another name,
16 so that anyone on earth who blesses himself
will bless himself by the God of Amen,[a]
and anyone on the earth who swears
will swear by the God of Amen!
For the past troubles will be forgotten.
Yes, they are certainly hidden from my eyes.
