Isaiah 65:14-16
The Message
13-16 Therefore, this is the Message from the Master, God:
“My servants will eat,
and you’ll go hungry;
My servants will drink,
and you’ll go thirsty;
My servants will rejoice,
and you’ll hang your heads.
My servants will laugh from full hearts,
and you’ll cry out heartbroken,
yes, wail from crushed spirits.
Your legacy to my chosen
will be your name reduced to a cussword.
I, God, will put you to death
and give a new name to my servants.
Then whoever prays a blessing in the land
will use my faithful name for the blessing,
And whoever takes an oath in the land
will use my faithful name for the oath,
Because the earlier troubles are gone and forgotten,
banished far from my sight.
Isaiah 65:14-16
New International Version
14 My servants will sing(A)
out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(B)
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;(C)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(D)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(E) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(F)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(G) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(H) will be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.
