15 My own people will use your names when they curse others.
The Almighty Lord will kill you,
    but he will give to his servants another name.
16 People in the land will use the name of the true God,
    when they want to say a blessing.
People in the land who want to make a strong promise

    Those thoughts will not be in their minds at all.
