Isaiah 65:12-16

12I will destine you for the 1sword, And all of you will bow down to the 2slaughter. Because I called, but you 3did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight.”

13Therefore, thus says the Lord 4God, “Behold, My servants will 5eat, but you will be 6hungry. Behold, My servants will 7drink, but you will be 8thirsty. Behold, My servants will 9rejoice, but you will be 10put to shame.14Behold, My servants will 11shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will 12cry out with a 13heavy heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit.15You will leave your name for a 14curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord 15God will slay you. But 16My servants will be called by 17another name.16Because he who 18is blessed in the earth Will 19be blessed by the 20God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Will 21swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!
