Isaiah 65:13-16
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.
Isaiah 65:13-16
Common English Bible
13 Therefore, the Lord God says:
Look, my servants will eat, but you will hunger.
My servants will drink, but you will thirst.
My servants will rejoice, but you will be ashamed.
14 My servants will sing with contented hearts,
but you will cry out from heartache;
with broken spirits you will wail.
15 You will leave your name behind for my chosen ones to curse:
“May the Lord God kill you!
May he call his servants by a different name!”
16 Those who pronounce a blessing in the land
will do so by the God called Amen;
those who make a solemn pledge in the land will do so by the God called Amen.[a]
Past troubles will be forgotten
and hidden from my sight.
