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 listen. Instead, you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight.”

13Therefore, this is what the Lord 4God says: “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 from a painful heart, And you will wail from a broken spirit.15You will leave your name as a 13curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord 14God will put you to death. But 15My servants will be called by 16another name.16Because the one who 17is blessed on the earth Will 18be blessed by the 19God of truth; And the one who swears an oath on the earth Will 20swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!
