Isaiah 65:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 Therefore, this is what the Lord [a]God says:
“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 from a painful heart,
And you will wail from a broken spirit.
15 You will leave your name as a (I)curse to My chosen ones,
And the Lord [b]God will put you to death.
But [c]My servants will be called by (J)another name.
16 Because the one who [d]is blessed on the earth
Will [e]be blessed by the (K)God of truth;
And the one who swears an oath on the earth
Will (L)swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My sight!

New Living Translation
13 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“My servants will eat,
but you will starve.
My servants will drink,
but you will be thirsty.
My servants will rejoice,
but you will be sad and ashamed.
14 My servants will sing for joy,
but you will cry in sorrow and despair.
15 Your name will be a curse word among my people,
for the Sovereign Lord will destroy you
and will call his true servants by another name.
16 All who invoke a blessing or take an oath
will do so by the God of truth.
For I will put aside my anger
and forget the evil of earlier days.
