And My servants shall dwell there.

Who forget aMy holy mountain,
Who prepare ba table for Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for1 Meni.

12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
aBecause, 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.”
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
aBecause, 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;
“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 awail for grief of spirit.
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And awail for grief 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;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And ccall His servants by another name;
16 aSo that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And bhe 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.
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And bhe 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.
