Isaiah 65:13-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
My servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;
my servants shall drink,
but you shall be thirsty;
my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;(A)
14 my servants shall sing with gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out in pain of heart
and shall wail in anguish of spirit.(B)
15 You shall leave your name to my chosen to use as a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give a different name.(C)
16 Then whoever invokes a blessing in the land
shall bless by the God of faithfulness,
and whoever takes an oath in the land
shall swear by the God of faithfulness,
because the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my sight.(D)
Isaiah 65:13-16
Lexham English Bible
13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh:
“Look! My servants shall eat but[a] you, you shall be hungry.
Look! My servants shall drink but[b] you, you shall be thirsty.
Look! My servants shall rejoice but[c] you, you shall be ashamed.
14 Look! My servants shall shout for joy,[d] but[e] you, you shall cry out for pain[f] and howl for sadness.[g]
15 And you shall leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse,
and the Lord Yahweh will kill you, and he will give[h] his servants another name.
16 Whoever blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of trustworthiness,
and the one who swears an oath in the land shall swear by the God of trustworthiness,
because the former troubles are forgotten,
and they are hidden from my eyes.
