Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

11“But as for you who abandon the Lord,

Who forget My holy mountain,

Who set a table for Fortune,

And fill a jug of mixed wine for Destiny,

12I will destine you for the sword,

And all of you will bow down to the slaughter.

Because I called, but you did 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 God says:

“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 from a painful heart,

And you will wail from a broken spirit.

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

And the Lord God will put you to death.

But My servants will be called by another name.

16“Because the one who is blessed on the earth

Will be blessed by the God of truth;

And the one who swears an oath on the earth

Will swear by the God of truth;

Because the former troubles are forgotten,

And because they are hidden from My sight!
