Isaiah 65:11-13
International Standard Version
Isaiah 65:11-13
International Standard Version
11 But as for you who forsake the Lord,
who forget my holy mountain,
who spread a table for Fortune[a]
and[b] fill drink offerings[c] for Destiny,[d]
12 I’ll consign[e] you to the sword,
and all of you will bend down for the slaughter—
because when I called, you didn’t answer,
when I spoke, you didn’t listen;
but you did what was evil in my sight,
and chose what I took no pleasure in.”
The Righteous and Wicked Contrasted
13 Therefore, this is what the Lord[f] says:
“See, my servants will eat,
but you’ll go hungry;
my servants will drink,
but you’ll go thirsty;
my servants will rejoice,
but you’ll be put to shame.
