Isaiah 65:11–16

11 “But you are those who forsake the Lord,

Who forget wMy holy mountain,

Who prepare xa table for 3Gad,

And who furnish a drink offering for 4Meni.

12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,

And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;

yBecause, when I called, you did not answer;

When I spoke, you did not hear,

But did evil before My eyes,

And chose that in which I do not delight.”

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 zwail for 5grief of spirit.

15 You shall leave your name aas a curse to bMy chosen;

For the Lord God will slay you,

And ccall His servants by another name;

16 dSo that he who blesses himself in the earth

Shall bless himself in the God of truth;

And ehe 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.
