Isaiah 65:11-16
11But ayou who forsake the Lord,who forget bmy holy mountain,
who cset a table for Fortune
and dfill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
ebecause, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
fbut you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, gmy 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 put to shame;
14behold, hmy servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15You shall leave your name to imy chosen jfor a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but his servants khe will call by another name,
16so that he who lblesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by mthe God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by nthe God of truth;
obecause the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.
