Isaiah 65:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 But ye are they that have forsaken the Lord, and forgotten mine holy Mountain, and have prepared a table for the [a]multitude, and furnish the drink offerings unto the number.
12 Therefore will I [b]number you to the sword, and all you shall bow down to the slaughter, because I called, and ye did not answer; I [c]spake, and ye heard not, but did evil in my sight, and did choose that thing which I would not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall [d]eat, and ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed.
