English Standard Version
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.

10 But the king said, (A)“What have I to do with you, (B)you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’” 11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, (C)my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me,[a] and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.” 13 So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and (D)cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust.
