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.

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.
