13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,

but you will go hungry;

my servants will drink,

but you will go thirsty;

my servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.

14 My servants will sing

out of the joy of their hearts,

but you will cry out

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;

the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,

but to his servants he will give another name.

16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land

will do so by the one true God;

whoever takes an oath in the land

will swear by the one true God.

For the past troubles will be forgotten

and hidden from my eyes.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,

Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry:

Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty:

Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart,

But ye shall cry for sorrow of heart,

And shall howl for vexation of spirit.

15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen:

For the Lord God shall slay thee,

And call his servants by another name:

16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth;

And he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth;

Because the former troubles are forgotten,

And because they are hid from mine eyes.

13 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,

but you will starve.

My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

My servants will rejoice,

but you will be sad and ashamed.

14 My servants will sing for joy,

but you will cry in sorrow and despair.

15 Your name will be a curse word among my people,

for the Sovereign Lord will destroy you

and will call his true servants by another name.

16 All who invoke a blessing or take an oath

will do so by the God of truth.

For I will put aside my anger

and forget the evil of earlier days.

13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, 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 ashamed;

14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,

But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,

And wail for grief of spirit.

15 You shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen;

For the Lord God will slay you,

And call His servants by another name;

16 So that he who blesses himself in the earth

Shall bless himself in the God of truth;

And he who swears in the earth

Shall swear by the God of truth;

Because the former troubles are forgotten,

And because they are hidden from My eyes.

13 So this is what the Lord God says:

“My servants will eat,

but you evil people will be hungry.

My servants will drink,

but you evil people will be thirsty.

My servants will be happy,

but you evil people will be shamed.

14 My servants will shout for joy

because of the goodness of their hearts,

but you evil people will cry,

because you will be sad.

You will cry loudly, because your spirits will be broken.

15 Your names will be like curses to my servants,

and the Lord God will put you to death.

But he will call his servants by another name.

16 People in the land who ask for blessings

will ask for them from the faithful God.

And people in the land who make a promise

will promise in the name of the faithful God,

because the troubles of the past will be forgotten.

I will make those troubles go away.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame; 14 behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name: 16 so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed; 14 behold, my servants shall sing aloud for gladness of heart, and ye shall cry out for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto mine elect; for the Lord Jehovah will slay thee, and will call his servants by another name: 16 so that he who blesseth himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the God of truth: because the former troubles shall be forgotten, and because they shall be hidden from mine eyes.

13 This is what the Lord God says: 

My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. 

My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. 

My servants will be glad, but you will be ashamed. 

14 My servants will sing because of the gladness in their hearts. 

But you will cry because of your sadness 

and wail because of your depression. 

15 Your name will be used as a curse by my chosen ones. 

The Almighty Lord will kill you 

and call his servants by another name. 

16 Whoever asks for a blessing in the land 

will be blessed by the God of Truth. 

Whoever swears an oath in the land 

will swear by the God of Truth. 

Past troubles are forgotten. 

They are hidden from my eyes. 

13 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:

My servants will eat,

but you will be hungry;

My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty;

My servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.

14 My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart,

but you will cry out from an anguished heart,

and you will lament out of a broken spirit.

15 You will leave your name behind

as a curse for My chosen ones,

and the Lord God will kill you;

but He will give His servants another name.

16 Whoever is blessed in the land

will be blessed by the God of truth,

and whoever swears in the land

will swear by the God of truth.

For the former troubles will be forgotten

and hidden from My sight.

13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

My servants shall eat,

but you shall be hungry;

my servants shall drink,

but you shall be thirsty;

my servants shall rejoice,

but you shall be put to shame;

14 my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,

but you shall cry out for pain of heart,

and shall wail for anguish of spirit.

15 You shall leave your name to my chosen to use as a curse,

and the Lord God will put you to death;

but to his servants he will give a different name.

16 Then whoever invokes a blessing in the land

shall bless by the God of faithfulness,

and whoever takes an oath in the land

shall swear by the God of faithfulness;

because the former troubles are forgotten

and are hidden from my sight.

13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“Look! My servants shall eat but you, you shall be hungry.

Look! My servants shall drink but you, you shall be thirsty.

Look! My servants shall rejoice but you, you shall be ashamed.

14 Look! My servants shall shout for joy of heart, but you, you shall cry out for pain and howl for sadness.

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 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.

13 So the Lord and King says,

“Those who serve me will have food to eat.

But you will be hungry.

My servants will have plenty to drink.

But you will be thirsty.

Those who serve me will be full of joy.

But you will be put to shame.

14 My servants will sing

with joy in their hearts.

But you will cry out

because of the great pain in your hearts.

You will cry because your spirits are sad.

15 My chosen ones will use your names

when they call down curses on others.

I am your Lord and King.

I will put you to death.

But I will give new names to those who serve me.

16 They will ask me to bless their land.

They will do it in my name.

I am the God of truth.

They will take oaths and make promises in their land.

They will do it in my name.

I am the God of truth.

The troubles of the past will be forgotten.

They will be hidden from my eyes.

13 Therefore, thus says the Lord God,

“Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry.

Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty.

Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

14 “Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart,

But you will cry out with a heavy heart,

And you will wail with a broken spirit.

15 “You will leave your name for a curse to My chosen ones,

And the Lord God will slay you.

But My servants will be called by another name.

16 “Because he who is blessed in the earth

Will be blessed by the God of truth;

And he who swears in the earth

Will swear by the God of truth;

Because the former troubles are forgotten,

And because they are hidden from My sight!
