13 Therefore, thus says the Lord [a]God,

“Behold, My servants will (A)eat, but you will be (B)hungry.
Behold, My servants will (C)drink, but you will be (D)thirsty.
Behold, My servants will (E)rejoice, but you will be (F)put to shame.
14 “Behold, My servants will (G)shout joyfully with a glad heart,
But you will (H)cry out with a [b]heavy heart,
And you will wail with a broken spirit.
15 “You will leave your name for a (I)curse to My chosen ones,
And the Lord [c]God will slay you.
But [d]My servants will be called by (J)another name.
16 “Because he who [e]is blessed in the earth
Will [f]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 troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My sight!
