Isaiah 65:13-16
World English Bible
13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says,
“Behold, my servants will eat,
but you will be hungry;
behold, my servants will drink,
but you will be thirsty.
Behold, my servants will rejoice,
but you will be disappointed;
14 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,
but you will cry for sorrow of heart,
and will wail for anguish of spirit.
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen;
and the Lord Yahweh will kill you.
He will call his servants by another name,
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth;
and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth;
because the former troubles are forgotten,
and because they are hidden from my eyes.
Isaiah 65:13-16

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!
