14 with gladness in their hearts
    my servants will sing for joy,
but you will cry out in heartfelt grief
    and wail in your anguish of spirit.
15 The Lord God will strike you dead
    and his chosen ones will use your name as a curse,
    but he will call his servants by a different name.
16 Then anyone in the land who blesses himself
    will bless himself by the God of truth,
and anyone who takes an oath in the land
    will swear by the God of truth,
because the troubles of the past will be forgotten
    and hidden from my sight.
