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.

13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, (A)my servants shall eat,
    but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
    but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
    but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, (B)my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
    but you shall cry out for pain of heart
    and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to (C)my chosen (D)for a curse,
    and the Lord God will put you to death,
    but his servants (E)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (F)blesses himself in the land
    shall bless himself by (G)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
    shall swear by (H)the God of truth;
(I)because the former troubles are forgotten
    and are hidden from my eyes.
