Isaiah 65:13-16
New International Version
13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“My servants will eat,(A)
but you will go hungry;(B)
my servants will drink,(C)
but you will go thirsty;(D)
my servants will rejoice,(E)
but you will be put to shame.(F)
14 My servants will sing(G)
out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(H)
from anguish of heart
and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(I)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(J)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(K) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(L)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(M) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(N) will be forgotten
and 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.
